>> Apple MUST use native windows controllers such as our in built Windowing system and scroll objects.
... except that the Windows Presentation Framework (the successor to Windows Forms) does allow you to completely redesign the chrome and "scroll objects."
- danudey 17y ago…and pretty much every major application on Windows does this. Firefox, Chrome, iTunes, and even - no, ESPECIALLY - Microsoft's software, like Office and Internet Explorer, all do their own custom UI, custom behaviours. With Windows Vista, you could have a dozen different looks and behaviours for windows, using only Microsoft software. I get the point they're making, but you know what? Mac users already get that point. Cross-platform toolkits that have targeted Mac OS X have always been shit. They don't look right, they don't work right. This goes for everything I've ever used, from Java to Firefox (which was far, FAR worse pre-3.0, before Cocoa controls were added). From everything I've heard, iTunes on Windows is shit. Doesn't this make the same point Apple is making?
