Currently, they look the same on all platforms.
There are two main "gotchas":
1) Don't try to do very much in OnCreate() other than basic
initialisation of the widget.
2) Do as little as possible in OnPaint() (for example, avoid computing
the sizes that things need to be). Any work done in OnPaint() slows
down the rendering of the whole app. The fewer computations you do in
OnPaint(), the snappier your widget will feel!
