Look and Feel Differences

Squish runs on Linux, macOS, various Unices, and Windows. Each of these platforms has its own unique look and feel—right down to the ordering of buttons in dialogs or sheets, and in the case of macOS the arrangement of menus and menu items. Furthermore, the appearance of applications can vary depending on the theme being used.

Therefore, the squishide screenshots shown in this manual may look different from the squishide that you see running on your own computers. This does not affect Squish's functionality, but sometimes when you look for a particular toolbar, dialog, or sheet button, it may not be in exactly the same place in your squishide as shown in a screenshot.

Look and feel differences don't stop Squish from being able to do cross-platform testing. This is because Squish identifies GUI objects by their properties rather than by, say, their coordinates. This means that a Squish test suite that tests an application running on one platform can be used unchanged to test the same application running on another platform, even if say, the order of dialog buttons is different on the two platforms.
