Why does a slider look so different?

Hello,
I'm new to LiveCode and iOS development. When creating iOS Apps with LiveCode, the interface looks so bad when running on an iOS device.
For instance, the slider :
LiveCode’s slider on Mac OS...

... looks like this bad on the iPad!

However, UISlider is so beautiful in Xcode

Is there an easy way (if possible) to use iOS UI elements when compiling an App ?

I thank you in advance.

Best regards

Hi tofdaddy,

unfortuntely LiveCode does not (yet?) support native UI elements on iOS.
Currently only the (ugly) (Unix) MOTIF look is supported.
You need to create your own UI elemnts with graphics.

Don't shoot the messenger! 8)

Not yet but they the guys from RunRev said that was one of the most requested features from their survey so I assume it will be sooner rather than later.
