- tomc1985 7y agoIf whatever’s rendering eventually maps to native API calls I’d consider it native, and I’m pretty sure GTK does native calls. If XUL really did mimic GTK (which I’m pretty sure it doesn’t, a lot of other GTk apps had the same feel as Firefox back when most of its UI was native dialogs) then it’s the best damn mimic job I’ve ever seen
- mod50ack 7y agoXUL had bindings to supported native widgetsets.
- anoncake 7y agoThe important part is how it appears to the user. XUL appears like a proper native program, not like a web page.
