Right, so another question: does the GObject API contain stuff that is not possible in the native layers for other platforms? >> Does font rendering look similar? > > Similar to what?

And I would guess system WebKit uses that as well. But combined with your following point: >> Does Webkit-GTK handle parts of GTK+ theming that are not possible using the >>Carbon shim approach you are >> suggesting? > > I'm not sure of what that Carbon shim approach is or how it works, but > WebKitGTK+ uses the current GTK+ theme for all its rendering, > including web forms, media controls, etc. If the Carbon shim approach does not take the GTK+ theme / fonts into account, there is a fair chance that the WebKit "control" will look kind of out-of-place in a GTK+ application. Especially if it also involves web form and media controls. What do you think? regards, -kris. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
