>From time to time, I needed some specific looks. And I'm still needing them, in fact. But, guys, I'm really thankful to you guys who have done the amazing efforts (and good priority choice) in native look stuffs (especialy GTK2 ;-)) I can be wrong, but IMO most developers just need to be able to build softwares that just 'fit' into the user's graphical environment. Softwares that have the same behaviours defined by the window manager that their users choosed to use... and are used to use ;-) Actually, as of today I haven't use Lazarus to build apps for customers (not the Lazarus/fpc's fault), but most users and customers I met just want standardized apps (look, and... feel!) so they don't have to learn how to use this flashy and unusual open file dlg. Nor this 'metalic' and so particular java thing. I understand and I know that some customer need specific look & feel. More than their logo in a splash-screen. But, hey guys... IMO both point of view are ok! both look&feel useful. It depends of your user's needs. And as a developer, the more choice the better. Thanks to FPC, Lazarus... to you! So, native look&feel as the very first priority is a good choice. Specific ones are welcome, as they can be very usefull in some contexts. Lazarus... what a rich and wonderful world!! keep on... -- Linuxeries http://linuxeries.blogspot.com Toraka Bilaogy http://torakabilaogy.blogspot.com _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
