So *IT IS* using an Amiga Native UI, and not its own?


Depends. Please define "native"... :-) In principle it uses the Amiga native port of XUL - which was btw one of the reasons for makiing this port, 'cos with a native running XUL enviroment it is possible to port other stuff more easy. In itself it utilizes of course native API like graphics.library, intuition.library, BOOPSI, maybe cairo etc. - so it doesn't depend on a specific GUI *toolkit* like MUI or Reaction. Just plain, unwrapped OS functions (this is all AFAIK and might be partly wrong...) which translate the GUI descriptions from XUL into a user interface.

not looking one bit like Amiga...has anything to do with Amiga UI styles, looks and feel.


Ah - ok, this is your definition of "native" GUI (in regards of my post above). Yes, then it's not native - I have the same feeling when I fire up Imagine or Vista Pro every now and then - totally un-Amiga... :-)

is the window dynamically resizeable at all?


You haven't read my post, didn't you? Of course it's resizable like any other AmigaOS window - it's plane graphics. and intuition.library stuff - so what did you expect?
