Both of those have Windows bindings and at least Qt has a native (non-X) Mac binding as well. And since they receive the most developer focus of the various toolkits, they set an appearance/usability standard that other toolkits (like wx, fltk, motif, tk, etc.) often can't match, even when (like wx) they use Gtk as a back end on Linux hosts. I suspect an Audacity built against a more recent wxWidgets would look nicer, though. In this case, Lee is really talking about the lack of anti-aliasing on the fonts, though I could easily imagine other GNOME or KDE users complaining that these apps that use less common toolkits don't abide by their choice of desktop theme. Anyway, at least wx-based apps aren't openly modern-desktop-hostile like, say, cinelerra or snd. Rob
