Yeah, it involves a lot of workarounds and extra pushing to try and get things to look integrated.  It's funny that something that is supposed to be a GUI cannot allow you to fully and more or less easily design the UI the way you have a vision for it.

Its certainly not SM's fault.

Tkinter is just as bad when you are going cross-platform.

But back to wxpython, I've found that buttons and panes you can get at pretty well.  You can even throw a graphic tile on the pane to get a Poser "sandstone" look, however it feels like such a hack/workaround to get it in there.  But you're right, listboxes and the other elements wind up looking generic and funky on the mac.

Another thing that blows me away is information is often kind of spotty so you either have to hunt for ages or blow up Poser's UI a few times to figure things out.  At least that's my experience.  LOL
