This is just plain wrong. Period. Like in any other GUI, people expect GEM apps to look and behave a certain way. This is (or was) one of the biggest problems with X. Every app did their thing their own way. Like implementing a unique fileselector in every app. Also, it contradicts your visions about skinning. Skinning requires the application to use ordinary objects as defined by the AES. If they don't, you can't implement a global theme/skin. Jo Even
