| 37 | You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people | |
| 38 | have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>, | |
| 0bc9b25e | 39 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |

| 45 | The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, | |
| 46 | wxGLCanvas.<P> | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible | |
| 49 | equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P> | |
| 50 | ||
| ce3ed50d JS |
51 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | <ul> | |
| 0bc9b25e | 54 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
| ce3ed50d JS |
55 | <li>Support for selection of specific visuals. |
| 56 | <li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will | |
| 57 | be relatively easy to add). | |
| 58 | <li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). | |
| 0bc9b25e JS |
59 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
| 60 | system is in preparation. | |

| 67 | Very occasionally you can experience this glitch, probably because sometimes the | |
| 68 | window tries to resize and repaint itself before the final size is known. The workaround | |
| 69 | is to add code like this after window creation and initialization:<P> | |
