yes i know that the stuff is manipulatable as well. but...

it's got to do with code consistency..user comes the way to use an arbitrary Ctrl and knows, 'i want to customize appearance -> i look for the Style', instead of skimming the code to find appropriate methods.

upp code is very user friendly, but there are still things that can be 'standardized' to be more predictable. which is a feature of good design concepts as well.

like i said, i dont want upp to go 'my way'. i simply emphasize what could be changed to improve user experience. (of corse i came across this issues while coding my self, so it's my user experience).

Well, my take on chameleon is that widgets should derive as much of their appearance from existing information in the system. Only if this is not possible, it is time to use Style.

I believe that ArrayCtrl or LineEdit are examples of widgets where the full information about appearance can be derived from such public information.

(But keep poking me, I still might reconsider this - but breaking existing code is a big no-no here...)
