It does make a vague attempt to look native on Windows, and is FAR better in 
that regard than, say, Swing, Winamp, Iron/Chrome, or pretty much anything 
from Apple. But there's still rather noticable differences in both look (the 
chunkiness I mentioned, just as one example) and in feel (particulary if 
you're using GIMP). It's kinda like gluing a picture of some wings overtop 
the logo on a Ferrari and saying "See, it's an Aston Martin!"
