If you stick to vanilla 4D objects (i.e. just the raw button styles, list styles & fields etc) then the O/S will do all the work for you in keeping your screens up to date. The only area I can think of where there’s room for creativity in this area is in toolbar icons. I find those a real headache because it’s very difficult to get hold of a set that’s: A. intended for desktop, not web B. comprehensive enough to cover all you need and doesn’t need too much Photoshop ‘hacking’ C. works on both Windows and Mac D. covers at least 2 sizes - standard and ‘tiny’ Things to avoid: Ambiguity (e.g. colour coded text) Redundancy (e.g. buttons with both an icon AND a label) Multiple Emphasis (e.g. giving priority to more than 1 function on a form) As a general rule of thumb, the less distinguishable from the MacOS itself (or the Windows OS if thats your preferred) the more you know you’ve got the right solution.
