Two notes here:

#1
for the case of TSearchEdit - it should be (optionally) a stand alone
widget, rather than a hard-coded pure LCL control.
otherwise it would not be rendered properly for OSX
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/ControlsText.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000957-CH51-SW5

and maybe (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSearchBar.html) gtk3
?

Win32 as well as Qt doesn't seem to have "native" controls, thus having
LCL-level wrapper is a good solution for them.

#2
Is luipack being moved to other source hosting service? (i.e. github,
sourceforge). code.google is closing.

thanks,
Dmitry
