Now that we've looked at the API capabilities of andlabs UI, let's look at building a graphical application of some complexity. For this section, we will follow the design of the "GoMail" application introduced in the Chapter 4, Walk - Building Graphical Windows Applications. The design presented was created using the Qt Creator tool which, while being a good fit for developing applications with the Walk library, is not a direct fit for all GUI toolkits. The multiple-platform approach of andlabs UI to use the native widgets means that some components are not available, but some can be created by combining simple widgets to form more complex components.

With that in mind, let's have a quick look at how the different platforms' styling capabilities may affect the application we are building. After exploring styles, we will start implementing the basic layout of our application and add the controls and features to demonstrate the user interface capabilities.
