Just like GTK2 apps look crap under KDE desktop. Or Windows Media Player or Safari Web Browser looks crap under Windows. This is not just something related to fpGUI. Consistent look between fpGUI applications on various platforms was my design goal for fpGUI. Nothing more, nothing less. > All my projects are targeted mostly to the home user, and this is the place > where > eyecandy goes first. I can list 1000's of programs that don't adhere to the OS theme. Media players, Video editors, Photo editors, Office applications, CD burning software, Games, Development tools, Web Browser, web pages like web apps (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter,...) etc... Millions of home/office users use web apps every day, yet not a single web app looks like my/your OS theme, yet we all seem to manage just fine interacting with the web page/web app. Your point is simply irrelevant. But now we are getting completely off topic here so I'll stop this discussion. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
