Weird, I wonder why it gets fixed for me. Perhaps updating to 10.4.10  
might help? (Maybe it was a bug that got fixed?)

Well, as expected, they're hesitant to add a style flag for this;  
however, the discussion has now moved to making the unified look the  
default, as there will be no more "Aqua" or "metal" on OS X 10.5 -  
all apps will use the "unified" look in Leopard. Since all apps (wx  
included) will have no choice but to use that style, making an option  
to turn it off on Tiger only seems not to be very useful. So we're  
just going to make it default. :-) (Note that apps that set the  
brushed metal style will still appear as brushed metal - it is only  
when you don't set the style that you will get the unified look.)

In any case, at this point, I think it's pretty much a given that  
this'll be in the next release.

Thanks,

Kevin
