If I wrote a program with wxWindows while using Microsoft Windows and it worked fine will it work on Linux with GTK with very little or no code changed? And do the windows look like the windows created with the Win32 API (on Microsoft Windows) or do they look horrible and chunky like GTK?

Cant say how much change it would need as I havent used it. But it''s cross platform so best case scenario would simply be a recompile.

Your second question however I can answer for sure. wxWindows creates the "windows" how they would naturally look on the native system. meaning that if used with MS Windows it would look like an MS Windows aspplication, and if used with a Mac it would look like a Mac application. platform familiarity

You will most probably not have to change anything written using wxWindows library functions. Check their list of functions not supported on all platforms(AFAIK 90% are supported on all platforms, and rising).

They will look like whatever that means.
