Re: [ROOT] no menu/toolbar on Object Browser in Windows? (v2.25.00)

Hi Dave,

   the TBrowser examples you see on the web are made with the Unix/X11 version
which uses the ROOT native GUI (with Win95 look). Currently the Win version
uses a different browser which is not anymore in sync (feature wise) with
the Unix one. We hope to migrate soon also on Windows to the native ROOT GUI
once the port of the X-to-Win32 compatibility lib is finished.

Cheers, Fons.
