I suspect SWIG will do that for you as part of the binding generation. > [Personally, I run GIMP on Windows, and it looks fine to me.

GTK on Windows normally uses a skin that tries to make it look more like real Windows widgets, but there's a limit as to how far you can go with that approach --- the result is always going to look *nearly*, but not quite, like the native widget set. (You're typically in a world of pain if the user changes any desktop settings.) What's more, it doesn't let you change the user interface to match application standards. Your application is not only going to look funny, but it's going to behave funny, too. Cross-platform widget sets like wxWidgets, which use native widgets for all their rendering, solve all these problems in a single stroke; and what's more, they can use native functionality whereever possible, so you don't have to worry about weird file dialogues, button ordering, toolbar graphics, keyboard shortcuts, etc. -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "There is one thing a man must do // Before his | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | life is done; // Write two lines in APL // And make | ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | the buggers run." +- www.cowlark.com --+ --- The Devil's DP Dictionary
