Hi guys,

Has anybody seen the PySWT project? It provides SWT wrappers that can
be used from Python to achieve native look and feel of GUI
applications. Go and take a look by yourselves:

I think it would be really nice to have something similar for Ruby
(no, I ain't volunteering ;))

Cheers,
Ed

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

Hi Edgardo

If you're looking for something similar in Ruby but don't want to port
SWT, you might want to consider WxRuby. It is cross-platform (like Fox,
Tk), but provides native-look widgets on Windows, Linux and OS X (unlike
those).

I'm been very happy with it and used it for a large end-user application
(see http://www.pressu... for screenshots from Windows)
