Re: [sc-dev] request for comments and/or committing : GUI references in standard libraries

[Sciss <contact@xxxxxxxx>]

hello, i still hope someone can deal with my suggestions?

in the meantime, the new swingosc 0.44 version is online, so it's  
more easy to check the methods on both gui kits.

(also you may look into CocoaCompat.sc and extCocoaCompat.sc for  
stuff that i think would be usefull to put in the regular classes)

thanks for you time. ciao, -sciss-
