Oh, I'm sure you do. Now go try to run one of your Dabo apps on a Mac and see how it looks/feels... :> Here's a hint directly taken from the Dabo homepage: "It also suffers from the same display limitations on some platforms (most notably OS X), but these should improve as the underlying toolkits improve." > Using sizers is the key; layouts just 'look right' no matter what the native > fonts and control sizes are. No, sizers are a tiny part of a much bigger problem. Sizers might be the key to solve parts of the "look" problem, they don't address any of the "feel" problem. But you clearly have a point here, so let me rephrase: "Crossplatform toolkits/frameworks suck. All of them. No exception. UNLESS you only target the lowest common denominator, aka Windows and its Linux followers". Now, the OP *explicitely* said that "[his] requirement is that the application needs to look as good on Windows as on the Apple Mac", so the rephrasing does not apply in this case. So here's a last try: "Crossplatform toolkits/frameworks suck. All of them. No exception. ESPECIALLY if one of your target is Mac OS". -- Luc Heinrich -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
