Not really - it doesn't actually use any native widgets, so there's no way to just "pick up" the native widget look. However, the way fltk works, it is fairly easy to make your own widget look. There are 3 built in looks - see Fl::scheme() in the docs - the default look (which I think is actually styled after fvwm or something rather than explicitly win95) "plastic" or "gtk+". If none of those suit (and I confess I can't visualize what the .NET look is...) then you can make your own widget styles, or even take over drawing of the widgets entirely. For a few worked examples of the latter, see: http://www.seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/Fl_Gel_Tabs/ http://www.seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/Fl_Matte_Button/ http://www.9edgedown.talktalk.net/gel_buttons.html Don't know if any of that is any help... -- Ian SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
