I thought wxWidgets was actually one of the only toolkits that actually *used* the native GUI libraries??? See e.g. http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxWidgets_Compared_To_Other_Toolkits
So I don't understand how come the look and feel is different then...
Using native GUI libraries is necessary, but not sufficient for achieving the same look and feel. :) Other elements are layout and spacing, http://developer.apple.decenturl.com/human-interface-guidelines-layout http://developer.apple.decenturl.com/hi-guidelines-windows drag & drop, http://developer.apple.decenturl.com/hi-guidelines-dragndrop writing style and fonts http://developer.apple.decenturl.com/human-interface-guidelines-text etc, etc. Daniel Carrera wrote:
Thirdly, the textlogs have different fonts. Again, the wxHaskell one looks non-standard.
Honestly, I can't tell. They are both very similar, sans fonts. Also, the font could be explained by the fact that these screen shots are taken on different computers (different OS versions, different settings).
There is a default set of fonts http://developer.apple.decenturl.com/human-interface-guidelines-text The "mini system font" is the typography of choice for text boxes, but it looks the "application font" is acceptable as well.
In any case, I think these differences are minor.
I don't. :)
More importantly, I'm not sure that a different cross-platform toolkit would do a better job.
True, that. It's just that this doesn't mean that wxWidgets does a very good job. Regards, apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
