I can confirm that it really works and does impress the audience since I have done that several times on presentations (at least two times on FOSDEM) by downloading some public sample code from Apple (e.g. Polygons, Font Explorer etc.). Here are some links: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/navigation/index.html (choose Sample Code and find some for AppKit) http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/Polygons/index.html http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/NSFontAttributeExplorer/index.html > > Hopefully by then Gregory will have committed his new-and-shiny > Windows theme support and we can show GNUstep applications looking a > bit more native on Windows.
