Yup. Hence the strategy behind SWT. There was some talk in the past that SWT would provide a native theme/skin API so custom widgets would be able to tap into the OS and ask to draw certain elements. I'm not sure where this is on the SWT team's priorities though.

In the beginning, some of your users will complain because your widgets are grossly different. Then, once you get them mostly right, a different set of users will complain that they just sufficiently different to be annoying. <grin> Cheers, Noel.

This probably has broader implications for Nebula, as these more advanced widgets are going to require more custom drawing than the SWT widgets have in the past. Any ideas? Lessons from Swing? I could obviously flex the ToggleRenderer based on System.getProperty ("os.name"), but I'm not sure that's the best way to go about it. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
