Just a real quick newbie question. Does wxPython support the ability to use different "styles" for the UI? I know it does basic windows, GTK, styles depending on operating system. I thought though there was a theme class that would allow to change menus, buttons, etc to relfect different styles like SGI, Windows, etc..
And if so, is it available in wxPython.
Thanks,
Steven

One of wxWindows/wxPython's claims to fame is that it is built on the native toolkit of each platform, rather than fully implementing its own widget set like some other toolkits do. This means that it always has a native look and feel even when the platform changes the LnF itself.
On Linux and other unix-like systems it is a little more flexible since wxPython is built on the gtk widget set, which is themeable. So on Linux the wxPython apps will look like all other GTK apps even if the theme is changed.
