0) While wax is a GUI framework, it is not a GUI designer, so I
   was wondering who you were quoting when you wrote "a GUI
   designer [...]".

1) Wax doesn't have any effect on the appearance of
   applications, only on the appearance of the Python code used
   to write the applications. So, screenshots are irrelevent.

   If you want screenshots of what wxWidgets apps look like,
   there are lots of them at wxWidgets.org.  But, since
   wxWidgets generally uses "native" widgets, wxWidget apps
   look pretty much like any other app on the given platform.
