I was hinting at this type of thing on a larger scale once to you Ben. I
suggested a gui kit that hand draws components and you said there already
was, gb.gui.base but that uses Style class for toolkit theme appearance so
not really what i meant.

I'm spitballing here but I think we should make a gb.gui.gambas component
that has it's own theming.
Completely ignores all the various widget rubbish and draws components as
wysiwyg (what you setup is what you get)

Then you, me and everyone else can have much less of a headache trying to
cater for all the widget variants and theme colours ;)

Imagine being able to reply to the statement "I have this problem because
my app works different in qt to gtk" being able to say "use the
gb.gui.gambas component, it's much better" ;)

I'm a dreamer ;)
