Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT & Native widgets

[snickell@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

By way of graphic example, compare just one tiny dialogue as generated
by Eclipse of today with a properly styled and worded version for GTK/GNOME:

http://www.stanford.edu/~snickell/native-dialogue.png

I should also mention that using a "native-frontend driven" approach
does not preclude including standard implementations of these dialogues
that can be used in most cases by most platforms (code re-use), nor does
it preclude the isolation of "native calls" into a small package such as
org.eclipse.swt.widgets (encapsulation, e.g. you can have a platform
specific version of a dialogue that contains absolutely no direct native
calls).
