yes, it runs an X11 emulator over MacOSX.
But I am finding some visual problems with the
example applications. More info to follow ...

There are two problems with drawing that I can see:
1. buttons are flat (there is no border)

Sounds like missing call to ChStdInit...

Does not having GTK matter? (I think not).
There is a beta GTK for MacOS (Gimp uses it).

Well, I think installing GTK on Mac for now is worth trying.

I believe that following steps need to be achieved while developing U++/MacOS:

- Get theide working in MacOS / x11

- Alter theide so that it is capable of building Cocoa apps

- Develop SystemDraw. One particular complication there could be font metrics - not sure whether MacOSX is using freetype in base system

- Develop base CtrlCore

- Develop clipboard, drag&drop

- Develop MacOSX chameleon. Or maybe just a skin - not sure now how much skinning is usuall on MacOSX

I do not think the nice rounded buttons of the Apple UI
will be achieved through Quartz 2D; Cocoa would have
to be used instead (using the C to Obj-C bridge).

If you can DrawImage, you can draw rounded buttons Smile
