I stand corrected. But, I do have a later version of xcdroast compiled for Solaris 10 that looks a lot better then the version you have. All the scroll bars and advance bars take up the gnome theme. I'm not sure if this was due to being compiled for Solaris 8 or 10. Also, I've had problems with gimp and other various programs where the "file - open" browser would crash the csw applications. This was blamed on some compatibility with Solaris 10. I had to remove the blastwave libs and link into /opt/csw/lib the same solaris libs for it to work correctly. This was about 6 months ago and has since been corrected (thanks to Ken Mays). Still, it was a Solaris 10 incompatibility with libs and can happen again.
