That was a rather nasty experience, because some theming engines

it'll be straight forward.
The other problem was that we needed our application to work under
Windows and Linux. The whole point of moving over to Free Pascal and
Lazarus was not to have IFDEF's in our code, like we had between
Delphi and Kylix.
fpGUI has solved all those issue for us.
Sorry for my ignorance, but I really don't see the interest of fpGui.
Under Windows, I prefer Win32 due to it is the native gui. Under
Linux
GTK2 make all the work I need. QT may be too I don't really know I
have not enough tested it. Under OS X I would prefer Cocoa but Carbon
is fine too(additionally this widgetset begins to be really usable).
Projects work on these 3 platform without any defines, and they are
quite complex. And the current LCL solves those issues too.
So what fpGUI brings to me ?
I'm not there yet, but I'm very interested in fpGUI. In the near
future
I'll start refreshing and multi-platforming a programm currently
running
on FreeBSD only to run on WIndows, too.
And since one incarnation will have to work on a pretty small embedded
computer I'm very happy to get rid of the GTK1 (and it's bugs)
Anyway GTk1 is a part of the past. GTK2 should be used instead and
there is not a lot of bugs with the LCL. It works better on Windows
but it won't be the case in a near future (as soon as TPageControl and
TScrollBox be fixed). On FreeBSD you use a X. And GTK works pretty
well on it.
Anyway, are you saying fpGUI would be really interesting for embedded
apps ? If yes That's interesting indeed.
inbetween. That'll save loading time, main memory and the need to feed
and care for two version of one program.
To be honest I'm not really sure if fpGUI, MSEGui or even KOL will win
the race, but the closeness of fpGUI to LCL and lazarus makes it the
hottest candidate.
