What do you mean by a non-native OS?
Dabo uses wxPython, which uses each platform's native API for
creating controls. A button on Windows doesn't *look* like a standard
Windows button; it *is* a standard Windows button, so it will look
correct when run on Win2K, WinXP or Vista. If you then run it on
Linux, it will be a standard Gtk button, using whatever UI theme the
user has set. Mac buttons are Mac buttons. IOW, they are *always*
native.
