How well does that work when your GUI must be shown in arbitrary devices, with arbitrary screen sizes and arbitrary resolutions? And how well does it reflow when the user changes the viewport size?
In any case, the original post to which I replied was comparing HTML5 to the NeWS platform, which provided a unified UI stack itself, so you wouldn't be able to match the native behavior following that approach either.
- pjmlp 10y agoThat is what layout managers and logical pixels are for. You are missing the fact that NeWS offered this kind of control. "The NeWS Book" - https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_sunNeWSThe_11666863 https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_sunNeWSThe_11666863
