The interface looks some what odd in windows, it looks a lot like Linux (I Know it come from Linux) when the mouse it's on some menu, combo box the text disappears. It would be nice if you add a XP manifest to application, (I believe i'ts a XML file that you add to your project) I think that would fix the interface in Vista also. And finally the icons could be better, food's icons are great looking (www.iconaholic.com) and the author have given permission to use some of them on other applications like WinRAR.

(In reply to comment #1) > Disappearing Options I don't have that problem with Vista's classic interface, but I was able to reproduce when using Vista's Aero interface. I also noticed that any combo box will resize itself the first time you try to select it. This could be specific to the system I am using right now because it uses a higher DPI setting.

Workrave uses the Gtk+ UI library, both on Unix and Windows. So yes, Workrave may look a little unix-ish on windows. The disappearing text problems on Vista seem to be fixed after upgrading to a more recent Gtk+ version.
