'native' here would mean "uses Mac-specific API calls to draw Gtk widgets according to the current Gtk theme". The resulting app would look *exactly* the same using the native Gtk port as it would using the X11 Gtk port, it just wouldn't require X11 to be running. I don't think this would really be any more palatable to mac users than the straight X11 version. What the mac-favoring mono hackers *are* doing is working on a set of .NET bindings for Cocoa (the cocoa-sharp module in mono cvs). This will let people write C# apps that use the real OS X widgets and look +feel. (Alternatively, you could use one of those widget toolkits that implements a native UI on any platform. But Gtk isn't one of those.) -- Dan _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
