Windows.Forms is the oldest and junkiest thing available, even on Windows. It's even worse on mono because it's buggy, and worse still on OSX because it requires X11. Not to mention, it looks like hell on any platform. So no. Windows.Forms is not a good answer for cross-platform GUI. The aforementioned Eto.Forms is some kind of wrapper that allows you to design your GUI and run the same code on iOS, Mac OSX, Linux GTK# 2 or 3, and Windows.Forms and WPF. I say again, I haven't used it yet and can't advocate it right now - but it's the right idea going in the right direction. Just hope to have more than one option to compare. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
