That depends on what you want to accomplish.

AFAIK, if you use the GTK or QT "widget type", The program will 
auto-adopt to the appropriate "Look and fell" of the *external* widget 
set used, including adhering to global design settings made to same and 
future updates.

AFAIK, the FPGUI  Widget Type does not use an external widget set, but 
directly accesses the X server and thus the program will look the same 
everywhere and always.
