Hi Dirk, As the developer of CalendarCombo, I agree.
I was looking at the DateTime widget and apart from look and feel the CalendarCombo has been phased out. I'm happy about that because over the years it developed issues that I could no longer fix (X didn't work on Linux, Y didn't work on Mac, etc). I've tried plenty of times to work around things but in the end it's never worked as some API just doesn't do what I want. Considering it's lived for more than 10 years I'd say it's had a very good run! Wim, maybe we should nuke it altogether? I think people should try to go for working cross-platform widgets than those that only work on Windows (nowadays). What do you think?
