...with one critical distinction: No operating system other than Apple's has anything called an "Appearance Manager". In fact, I'm not even sure if recent implementations of OS X do either.
When XP came along, the "Appearance Manager" token became extended to also specify OS-native lookAndFeel for that platform, even though the token makes no sense in that OS. Presumably when Rev adopts support for GDK it'll use the same token for those OS-native appearances, further decaying any useful meaning the term "Appearance Manager" may have once had.
So as long as we're on the subject, it would be simpler and less confusing to depricate "Appearance Manager" in favor of a more universal token, maybe something like "native".
Anyone know if this is in BZ? If not, I'll gladly add it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
