| |
| |maybe, but that depends on what "more modern look" means.

|More like Gtk and KDE. Hotbuttons, themes and all the other crap stolen

|aged/out-dated, ...I still want to make nice looking apps too.
Because I'm interested, I'd still like to come back to Fredrik's question.
To you, what list of features identifies a modern look. You mentioned
hotbuttons (is this like a taskbar?) and themes (is this like MSWin desktop
themes -- global color prefs?). What else?
FWIW, I'm not a die hard convert for any of the scripting GUIs; I'll make
time to try a new one given sufficient reason. Unfortunately, most Python
GUI threads just say "try X", "try Y", "I don't like Z", which is basically
useless.
