I am new to Ultimate++ and have tested the Windows version so far. I have read that you are now working on a Carbonized OS X version. I have two questions concerning OS X version:
1) Do you have an idea when the Carbon port will be available?
2) Will the Carbon version have native "Aqua" look and feel? What I mean is: will the basic widgets like buttons, menus and so on not only be rendered identical but also have identical animation effects like "pulsing" buttons, "rotating" progress bars? In other words: how perfect will the imitation be? Or does Ultimate++ actually use the native widgets without imitation like in WxWidgets?

We will try to do our best. I guess MacOS X makes it easier, as it looks like it support just two possible appearances...

Generally, we try to match Firefox....

No. It is more like Qt/Firefox/OpenOffice.
(It is much harder to do cross-platform this way and for U++, it is also required to support its way of doing things...).
