That's all sound good, and shows that fpGUI is capable to create some real apps.
But for me the main missing feature of it is a lack of native look&feel. I want
all applications look the same, giving me a feeling of a complete system on my PC.
Yes, I know that fpGUI supports themes. But if I set, for example, some GTK theme
with Murrine engine, with animated progress bars - fpGUI will not look the same,
and that's really bad for me.
All my projects are targeted mostly to the home user, and this is the place where
eyecandy goes first.
