Actually, the thing I notice the most that makes it look better is the more subtle line around the buttons. In gtk+ there's a high contrast dark outline around all the buttons, whereas the grad1 scheme has a subtle, low contrast outline. Seems like the thing that makes interfaces look ugly (vis a vis win95) is high contrast elements in widgets. I think the gradient effect is nice, but very subtle compared to the outline. BTW, not sure: on my mac display, the 'color banding' in the pulldown menu's gradient is really noticeable. Was wondering if that's due to the PNG conversion, or more likely, due to FLTK's limited 24 value grayscale ramp? Perhaps the grads can be drawn with RGB colors instead, so that even if colormap values are passed as the start/end, this could be converted to RGB, so that the actual drawing is done in RGB. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
