So I think U++ should try to look native only in the most common theme combinations, which either look very good or have very conservative users (WinXP or older).



There can be levels of support. Some parts are quite simple and in fact make for 60% of impression - buttons, check boxes, radio buttons. I am quite confident we can support them everywhere.

Hard parts are e.g. scrollbars.

Extremely hard are editfields, dropdown fields (especially as U++ allows multiple buttons - had to be emulated using various heurestics), TabCtrl (btw, not even Firefox or Openoffice has TabCtrl right in GTK).

Then of course, it is a good idea to follow at least basic color scheme - "dialog face", text color, text font. But that is simple.
