Swing is NOT platform native, that's why SWT was developed in the first place. Swing can use native look-a-like theming but it's not the same thing as SWT's actual, truly native widgets (with native keyboard shortcuts, system services..).

wxWidgets and SWT are about as native at it can be in a cross platform GUI library. I don't see why you'd need a screenshot of the go library, it would look the same as a typical wxWidgets or SWT app, which is to say, it uses native controls, but might not be designed according to the "common" UI conventions of the platform.



Yes I meant SWT, but for some reason I wrote Swing.


Its native on OSX, is it not?


No, it only tries to look like OS X by drawing the controls like that. But there are still so many things off that I don't even know where to begin.
