FLTK native in 'D'. Would that be useful?

It definitely feels alien on Mac OS X, but as long as it works...
(and it's definitely better than having to fire up X11.app first)

Swing has a more terrestrial look-and-feel, but that's probably
because Apple has spent tons of effort on making it look that way.


As with GTK+, it's the things like file browsing that hurt the most.
The others just look "gray", but so does e.g. Firefox so that's "OK".

Then again, I am using wxWidgets and Camino just because of the looks.
But having a unified/cross-platform look-and-feel isn't all bad either.
