I think it's a little sad that we're now back to writing our own widget sets.
On Linux too, the toolkits of a handful of the applications I use are also, shall we say, "home made".
In fact, widgets in Windows have been theme-able since XP. Why couldn't that have been made more available?
- themacguffinman 8y agoI think it's a positive development and a sign that GUI applications are now being treated seriously. There's just no way that any generic widget set is going to 100% fill the needs of an easy-to-use, complicated GUI application. Nowadays when UI/UX actually matters in the success of software, it makes sense that developers are taking control of their UI's widgets. Cobbling together a GUI with a limited set of cookie-cutter widgets that are difficult to modify is no longer acceptable.
