How do you handle styling? If the application defines its own 
theme, your thing will be good, but if you want to blend in with 
the rest of the desktop, that's a lot of work.

One option though would be to ask the display for its current 
them when you connect, and then render using it in the library. 
Actually that's not a bad idea at all.

But I think it is just easier to use native widgets on the 
display when you can, then they are styled automatically.


Of course, this applies to any GUI library: native vs DIY is one 
of the great divides here....
