TERMINAL IS CARBON!!!!
Authored by: flamingnight on Jun 25, '02 02:34:01PM

Yes! Say more! Because you're wrong...
I used Silk (not the traditional method, but it works...) to find out if Terminal.app is a Cocoa or Carbon app. And Silk returns:
"Terminal is a Cocoa application. It will NOT be affected by Silk."

then why...

Then why doesn't it behave as cocoa app?

It doesn't allow using "Services" [highlight a URL in the Terminal and use the OmniWeb service to open it; doesn't work].

Cocoa applications you can identify by command+clicking on them. [Search this Forum, there was a post about it.] Terminal.app doesn't behave as cocoa.

Open two windows of the Terminal.app, command+click on the scroll bar of the window in the background. It Terminal would be cocoa, the Terminal window that is in the background SHOULD NOT get the focus. However, it does... hence, not cocoa. I guess.

Prove me wrong.

Humm... when I open a Terminal windows, type 'ls' a couple of times, then open another one, hold down command and try to scroll in the window behind, the scroll bars are fully functional and it does not get focus.

Besides, not many carbon programs use the .nib UI layout (although they can).

funny, I just tried it before today, before ever reading this post: AND IT DIDN'T WORK! Tried again and know it worked. Maybe I wasn't careful and pushed the option key instead. Silly me! :)
