With all due respect, it seems like you are not terribly familiar with wxPython. It uses the native UI toolkit for each platform wherever possible: Aqua on OS X; MFC on Windows and Gtk on Linux. Applications tend to look 'natural' on each platform, rather than uniform across platforms, and I believe that this is what most people prefer. -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
