All the Mac OS X images on this site look horrible: 
http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screensh.htm

But that might be a problem with the applications and not the toolkit. 
And the images are so horrible outdated. What version of Mac OS X is 
that, 10.3?

BTW, how is the support for Mac OS X specific "widgets" that are usually 
not available on other platforms, like:

* Dialog sheets
* Unified toolbar
* Adding menu items to the dock icon
* Adding menu items to the application menu (or what it's called)

I tried to run the demo, it requires Rosetta, that was a couple of 
versions ago of Mac OS X.
