[Gambas-user] First look at Gambas 3

[Michael]

Benoit
Thanks for your help. I attach 2 screenshots showing the color selectors 
which appear from Form/Properties/Background.
They appear to use different color palettes. Gambas2 palette is similar 
to the default Desktop theme used in Ubuntu Maverick which was valid 
when I installed Gambas2. The Gambas3 palette is similar to my current 
desktop theme. Interestingly note also the different sizes of the 
dialog. Both screen shots taken on same machine at same resolution. As a 
general rule the move from 2 to 3 has detracted from the UI beauty. 
However, that is a subjective opinion, others may disagree.
Regards
Michael
