\section1 Aqua
Aqua is an essential part of the \macos platform. As with Cocoa and
Carbon, Qt provides widgets that look like those described in the Human
Interface Descriptions. Qt's widgets use HIThemes to implement the look and
feel. In other words, we use Apple's own APIs for doing the rendering. More
documentation about Aqua is found at the
\l{http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/Intro/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000957}
{\macos Human Interface Guidelines}.
The Aqua style is an essential part of the \macos platform. As with Cocoa, Qt provides widgets that
look like those described in the \l{https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/overview/themes/}
{\macos Human Interface Guidelines}. Note that although Qt's widgets use AppKit under the hood for
look and feel, it does not represent each individual Qt Widget as a wrapped native control.
The \l{Qt Widget Gallery} page contains sample images of applications using
the \macos platform theme.
