NeoOffice presentation: Aqua is Here! The Solution: Demystified by Patrick Luby & Ed Peterlin

* scrollbar arrow (up-down) vs. downdown
* tabs (left) vs. center & first/last
* shadows (no transparency in OOo) -> borders -> having to draw also parent controls
* checkbox
* preferences (label/text backgrounds)
* progress bars
* edit fields (focus ring)
* mnemonics
* editing mark (document has been edited)
* UI text/button color querying (accessibility, e.g. ShapeShifter)
* "heartbeat pulse" animation thread for progressbars & other animated controls
* native printing (native modality, sheet UI)
* native open/save dialogs (native modal dialog, extra thread, must run in primordial thread â otherwise
* lots of problems)
* OOo button size (area) vs. Aqua button size (inluding shadow)
* file picker the trouble of both VCL thread and aqua thread have to co-exist, locking, event filtering
