* I don't think it matters much, to the user, if the button they click is a Motif button or an Aqua button, so long as their form is processed. Go to Amazon. All the buttons there are images. * Dealing with Win32 GDI controls is pain. Because they consume a Win32 window they are not going to place nice a more complex layout like a grid or a document. They are so few an simple, it is trivial to replicate them. The Win32 GDI is going to be a real problem, and it will put unnecessary design constraints on the GUI library if its poor behavior is enabled. * It is an aspect of the View of MV[PC] and the developer must be able to choose the View that suits their application. I think native controls should be supported in the case of PalmOS, where you can't overlay them anyway. Or in the case of windowing libraries that allow their controls to be clipped, where the native controls will behave properly when overlayed, and thus can take part in a complicated layout. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com
