Windows is hardly a homogenous environment itself. I think a windows theme that is "Close enough" will suffice in most cases.
Think about Java apps or even iTunes and such on Windows. They don't really blend, but they do make enough changes to "work with" the environment. I think that's really what we should shoot for with respect to a "Windows" theme/look & feel.

I would draw the difference at the point where all the control elements get displayed with naive Windows function calls. Many Windows applications do that themselves and they look out of style. This is also the case with GNUstep applications on Windows no. When using native drawing code, we could improve on that, but there surely will be places where the available Windows controls don't fit our needs. Still, even with native colours, native control drawing, menus inside the window and what ever other adoption will be possible, I would expect that it will always be possible to tell a ported GNUstep application from one that was developed for Windows. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
