100% correct. Most in-house or custom written projects do not conform to the OS standards in regards to look and feel. Not even mainstream applications adhere to this. MS-Office, Windows Media Player, Adobe Lightroom, Apple's Safari on Windows, Apple's Quicktime player or Windows, Apple's iTunes for Windows any Accounting package on any platform etc. Everybody keeps hammering the native look and feel issue, yet it seems very unimportant to the end-user (Mac OS users excluded). And then I haven't even mentioned the biggest product of them all, Web Apps! They run on all platforms, yet their look is consistent across all platforms and doesn't adhere to a single OS's look and feel. Funny that, no end-user has problems with that either. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
