Re: GNUstep on MS Windows

[Gregory John Casamento]

Granted that they look more like MS-native widgets, then they would under
GNUstep.   I believe that the point is that we need to get GNUstep *working* on
Windows such that there are very few bugs (relative however many bugs there
normally are at any given point. ;) ) and *THEN* we concentrate on getting the
look and feel to be more windows-ish.   Plain and simple.

Using native window widgets directly does not fit into the paradigm of
OpenStep/GNUstep in which the widgets are drawn by drawRect: using postscript
commands.   So simply plugging in windows widgets wont work.   The best ew can
do is to approximate the look of Windows or whatever other OS we're
implementing a new look and feel for.
