[Mono-winforms-list] Theming in MWF

[Vladimir Lushnikov]

Hi,

Then I don't see the reason for starting a completely managed wrapper
to native APIs across the platforms. Also, (slightly unrelated) can
Mono at the moment use MS.NET's implementation of Windows.Forms (even
if run through Mono) with native controls?

Regards,
Vladimir
