If you have an itch at all, I would love to see a pure Swing version that could run everywhere. I don't do any GUI stuff myself, so I don't know how difficult/much work it would be. I know it won't be as pretty to look at, and that IS important when it comes to GUIs, but from what I understand there has been a lot of improvements in Java 6 Swing which aims to provide better and more configurable (native-like) look and feel. The following blogs explain it better than I can: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/bino_george/archive/2004/11/hifi_swing_or_i_1.html http://weblogs.java.net/blog/chet/archive/2005/08/mustang_swing_a.html http://weblogs.java.net/blog/zixle/archive/2006/11/extreme_gui_mak.html -- dt
