Again, this was a design goal of fpGUI, just like it was for MSEgui.

Just like GTK2 apps look crap under KDE desktop. Or Windows Media
Player or Safari Web Browser looks crap under Windows. This is not
just something related to fpGUI. Consistent look between fpGUI
applications on various platforms was my design goal for fpGUI.
Nothing more,
nothing less.

I can list 1000's of programs that don't adhere to the OS theme. Media
players, Video editors, Photo editors, Office applications, CD burning
software, Games, Development tools, Web Browser, web pages like web
apps (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter,...) etc... Millions of home/office
users use web apps every day, yet not a single web app looks like
my/your OS theme, yet we all seem to manage just fine interacting with
the web page/web app. Your point is simply irrelevant. But now we are
getting completely off topic here so I'll stop this discussion.
