> Yes,you are correct: Qt uses themes and styles to configure its internally rendered widgets so they appear native.
Oh wow, I have developed QT applications and never even noticed that. Sure, on Linux I know that it draws the controls, are there are no standard controls. But I figured they just had a pretty good integration and didn't bother looking under the hood.
You will notice it most when Microsoft updates the look and feel of the standard widgets in a new version of Windows. The Wx app will pick up the new look automatically, the Qt app will need to be updated.

The illusion is pretty much pixel-perfect.
