Here's an analogy. Say I argued we should only target GTK because it runs on Windows just fine, so we'd be able to share UI test code between Windows and Mac. You'd (hopefully) say it'd be terrible because it's non-native. That's the situation between GTK and Qt these days. The OS underneath is the same, but running apps targeting one in an environment targeting the other in terms of user experience feels much like GTK apps feel on Windows. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to target both, but if someone else is willing to provide the patches I'm willing to review them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
