So what do you do when you have a user on Linux and another on Windows? That's right you can't have rounded borders now do you?

- dguaraglia 14y agoQT, Gtk and WxWidgets (among a crapload of other, not so mainstream portable UI kits) would like to disagree.
- ibudiallo 14y agoNow how would that differ from gender prefix in css. The point here being, you will have to get some work done in order to have consistency .
- dguaraglia 14y agoSure you will. Not a free lunch to be had when writing portable code. BTW, I never said those toolkits were better than HTML/CSS, just said that it is doable. In general, the more you depend on the native rendering engine for your widgets (be it the browser's or heavy-weight controls in your native toolkit) the harder it is to get consistency. If you use something like FLTK (which looks kinda gross, but renders every control) then you get consistency at between platforms, but not with the platform. In other words: meh.
