Those who can respond in detail to what's in the next release are under 
non-disclosure agreement.

But I sympathize and also wish for more "roadmap" types of 
announcements from Runrev.

Something that you should be aware though is that except for Mac OS X 
"appearance manager", all the other look & feels, including Windows and 
Linux, are all *emulated*. That means native controls are *not being 
used*.

Emulated controls are actually quite common among cross-platform GUI 
toolkits.

So you should not be expecting native controls everywhere- that is 
simply not how Rev works, in past and present releases at least.

That is my understanding at least, and would be glad to be corrected 
about the native vs. emulated controls specifics in Runrev.

Hope this helps,
