I can't speak to the fltk2 issues, as I've never used it. With regard to existing apps, none of the above would be relevant. With regard to new development, I guess I'd want to upgrade if I thought I needed styles, tablet support or shaped windows. I don't, so I wouldn't, but YMMV. Again, I want to emphasize that I don't necessarily think that this fltk3 plan is a bad one, just that it's very developer-centric as opposed to user-centric. And neglecting one's users is a slippery slope. Best, Stan _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
