DlangUI has a nice API design but still need serious design

look and feel. I also find that it just have basic widgets.
With Gtk you have Switch, Stack, Notebook, HeaderBar, and many
modern input widgets for a modern GUI toolkit.
Some of such widgets are easy to implement.
Switch - just need to add new style for button to theme.
Switch, Stack, Notebook, HeaderBar - new styles for TabHeader,
TabHost, TabWidget
Can be implemented in one day.
Some other controls like Rich Edit or HTML view are much harder
to implement, and require a lot of development time.
Making of OSX native looking controls seems easy - new theme
based on OSX screenshots is to be created.
Well, the absence of those widgets is what keeps me from
completely adopting DlangUI for my projects. I wish they were
added. Modern UI is not just textboxes, lables and tables. Once
those widgets are added,I will create my own themes and make it
super great.
