[Mono-winforms-list] Theming in MWF

[Vladimir Lushnikov]

Hi,

I looked in the Mono Wiki and found this:

DEAD) Sharp WT

Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sharpdevelop

THIS PROJECT IS DEAD. DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED BECAUSE OF LACK OF INTEREST.

This is a project started by the developers of SharpDevelop.

The project started due to the limitations on Windows.Forms and the
need to port their large application to Linux. They picked the SWT
toolkit which is part of Eclipse and ported it from Java to C#.

SWT uses native widgets on each one of its target platforms, so the
look and feel matches the underlying operating system.

Pros:

    * Native look and feel on various platforms (Windows, Linux and MacOS).
    * Clean design.
    * The Java version has been successfully used by the Eclipse project. 

Cons:

    * Little or no documentation.
    * Authoring new widgets is either hard (due to testing on multiple
platforms), or the look and feel is unique.
    * Still under heavy development.
    * Common denominator subset API problem.
