[bug #22278] Nib reading issues with System fonts and button borders

[Nicolas Roard]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #22278 (project gnustep):

Well, what we need to have is mechanism to handle properly the different
styles, delegating the drawing to the current theme.

>From that perspective, I agree that in general it would be good for themes to
implement all styles, so that UI explicitely using a specific style will look
ok using another theme; but in the case of the NeXT theme I don't think so, as
it would result in UIs rather different than what you'd have done by hand. 

Let's see it that way -- the default buttons on OSX are rounded, so most
buttons use that style. The exact same UI, done manually on GNUstep, would
have square buttons, simply because the NeXT theme didn't have rounded buttons
as a default...

Using round buttons for the NeXT theme will simply give us UIs not looking
like NeXT, and that's the whole point of the NeXT theme !

Anyway, I believe this is something to be solved/decided in the theme, not in
-gui per se. -gui "only" have to handle the different style and delegate the
drawing.
