"... complex tookits doom more projects than anything else. "
But they are a thing of the futur: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/rib?open&S_TACT=10...
It is just that the traditional look and feel of Java Apps happen to suck so immensely...
But my real point, concerning toolkits voted to widgets and "apperence" in general, it has yet to be field the promise of a easy and strinking usefull way, in any OS environment out there, of separating the GUI out of the executing body of the application and associetated librarys. Toolkits are intermingled badly with the languages and implementations.
What is needed,IMO, is a IDL, like in OS2 example, or a much better one, that can "speak", a compatible Qt version, along with a compatible GTK version, along with...
Yes i'm asking for the "impossible" of making the relative "extremely" easy task of making a Qt or a GTK or a Java toolkit,... compatible with each other by means of an IDL that as a "metatoolkit" implementation as a reference. The idea is not the metatoolkit completly "eclipse" the others, but the others incorporating the directives and code of the metatoolkit, so that any application have the same look&feel, and yes, it can be there applications with GUIS that are based on one toolkit but have some widgets or dialogues of another toolkit... can it be done?
