Ok, I had a look at the screenshot. I have to say that it does not look 
like Windows at all but like an ordinary GTK+ application. There are no 
differences between this and GTK+ look on POSIX except of course for the 
title bar and the window border.
Why do so many people not care about details in GUIs? Just today I 
installed an application which was said to have "a modern Windows 
interface". The interface was in my opinion rather terrible - unusual 
looking scrollbars, non-modal dialogs where there should be modal ones, 
push button rows below the menu bar and so on, and so on.
Ok, obviously there is no such library I am looking for. I think I will 
begin to write one when I have time. The existence of wxWindows proves that 
it is possible to have a library fulfilling the requirements I have.
IMPORTANT: If someone of you is interested in participating in this project 
please tell me. 

Wolfgang
