I think gtkD is out of the question since it's not using native
controls. Don't know about QtD, if I recall correctly it, at least,
looks quite native. But I would guess it would too hard to find whole
int that, specially on Mac OS X.
Qt (and so QtD) use some native controls for Dialogs, e.g.: FilePicker,
colorPicker, ... but most controls are drawn by the PaintEnginge.
But Qt
make really good job in imitating the native Theme. (except OSX,
which is
a little bit special)
My understanding is that Qt also has a compile-time flag that will
make it
actually use the real Win32 controls.
No! When compiling the Qt-library, you can specify a flag for the theme
to build. The controls appears then with this theme.
On windows you can easaly test this, with Spy++.
I've just created a simple window with
QHBoxLayout,QGridLayout,QGroupbox,Qlabel,QLineEdit,QTextEdit.
But ther is only one win32-control and this is the main-window!
You can see this also on the traffic of the windowsmessages.
This is so on Windows, maybe Qt use more native controls on other
platforms?
The problem with OSX is, as I know, that some controls not only look
different, but are also different arranged, and this make it more
difficult to emulate.

DWT handles that fine.
Yeah, that's true.
You will only get the real platform feeling, when you use the native
controls. I was always irritated by the unusual widget of swing.
So such an approach like DWT looks always handier, but don't forget,
you have to maintain all that code for _all_ platforms.
You always get pro's and con's.
