How is Renaissance for including the full set of Cocoa widgets?
Alternately, how easy is it to add widgets should you need them
(say, for
instance, that you needed the drawer from Cocoa). If it is easy
enough to
add support for Cocoa UI elements that are not presently supported,
then
Renaissance would be one way of getting the job done.
I played with Renaissance a bit, with an eye to evaluating it for
building interfaces that could be easily localized. (Since localizing
changes the sizes of controls, it can be a royal pain for regular
nibs, and I wanted to see if I could avoid that.)
It definitely didn't encompass all of Cocoa in terms of capabilities.
At the very least, anything that's in Cocoa but not GNUStep isn't
there, like drawers. I think it also lacked some configuration
options. However, my impression was that it would be pretty easy to
extend. As I recall, unknown attributes in the XML end up going
through some sort of key-value system to make customization easy, and
the code looked pretty clean. I'd definitely recommend checking it
out, at least, and seeing how it looks for you.
