Well, I develop major database projects (in Delphi), and none of our
customers has ever asked for a specific look. So I would be the last
to ask this from lazarus. The thing I am looking for is portability.
Most of our users hardly understand windows, let alone that they would
require a specific (and hence more confusing) look for our application.
By keeping it close to the windows standards, we make the application
less frightful for them. And we have many thousands of such users.
As in all things, it is dangerous to generalize your own experience.
Michael.
