Re: [platform-swt-dev] Is anyone actively working on the SWT Cocoa bindi

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps as a way to drum up participation, could you shed some light on the
likely benefits of a Cocoa binding over Carbon (other than empty scrollbars
not appearing)?

Is there any chance of seeing new styles or widgets in SWT which gracefully
degrade on other platforms?  Or perhaps are emulated like Coolbar is on
Mac?  Looking briefly at what's available in Cocoa and some possibilities
are:
ToolItem: SWT.ICON (== FLAT?)
Toolbar: SWT.SCOPE, SWT.CAPSULE(or "ROUND")
Button:  SWT.BEVEL (== ETCHED?), SWT.GRADIENT, SWT.ROUND

I know what Steve's going to say:  "Open a bugzilla and attach a patch".
But I'm just wondering where the line is when it comes to supporting
"hints" that only have a meaning on a single platform.  In other words, are
there patches that wouldn't even be considered?
