It does not use GSTheme. It is just setting the default colors and adapring
some drawing in the buttons.

I think yes. They use the standard Foundation/AppKit (Base/GUI) API.

Yes. Development is done this way...

/* #define UIView NSView */
Well, and changing some NSBezierPath and maybe drawing code to UIBezierPath etc.
Other differences may be in event handling (NSEvent -> UIEvent).
Generally not very complex. The complex thing is getting the coordinate
transformations right (and they may still have bugs).

There is also GSCoreData / DataBuilder.app:

But I think currently nobody is using it.
