I think the reason Java Swing developers default to Metal (the Java Look&Feel) is because it requires less programming. Swing developers have to _try_ to load the native look&feel, which may fail for whatever reason. Personally, when I use JBuilder (a Swing app), the first thing I do after I install it, is use the options menu to configure JBuilder to imitate the native look and feel. I am one of those users that like a consistent look and feel. -Talbott _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
