Re: [good] RE: [Mono-dev] C# and SWT
i am waiting for that gtk port to MacOS ... in the mean time .. I am using WX.Wigets (wx.net) which is native on linux,mac, and win32 its not nearly as powerful as using gtk+ direct, but it does work to produce an app to all three platforms now. And with wx.net it just involves including 2 dll's in your application deployment for windows and linux. But for mac as far as i have found, you have to tinker a bit more. I just have the mac users install the WX.net package (demo), then have them put my app in that structure, as i am not knowledgable about packaging for a Mac yet. -tl On Fri, 21 Oct 2005 13:30:07 -0400 Miguel de Icaza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > > > Why you dont uses Gtk#?

RE: [good] RE: [Mono-dev] C# and SWT
For now I could use GTK + X11 on the Mac, from what I understand. The problem is that, even themed, GTK+ just doesn't have that completely native look & feel. This is just my opinion, and I'm picky when it comes to UIs 8-) (See http://themes.freshmeat.net/screenshots/31431/33291/, for example). The whole native-vs-emulated cross-platform UI framework is an interesting topic. 8 or 9 years ago, I was deciding between an emulated framework called Galaxy, and a native one called XVT. Today, it seems we have the same choices. The sad thing is, and I raise it only for the sake of discussion, is that I may port my app to Java 5 / SWT. The existence of a first class development platform (Eclipse), and the fact that Java 5 has caught up to C# in many ways, makes it a compelling choice. I love Mono and C#, which is why the decision is so hard! -elan > i am waiting for that gtk port to MacOS ... in the mean time .. > I am using WX.Wigets (wx.net) which is native on linux,mac, > and win32 its not nearly as powerful as using gtk+ direct, ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

I've found that if you include the wx.NET libs from the Mac package alongside the actual app binaries in the .app directory structure the user isn't required to install anything. The only shortcoming is that the application is now substantially larger to distribute.-- Bigger 1:23This address if for mailing list traffic only.
