To keep to the notion of 'code-once-compile-many' Qt doesn't use native widgets on the different platforms.

On the MS platform, the style is very simple to emulate, and so you wouldn't notice, but on the Mac it shows.

Qt on the Mac does not utilise Cocoa.

No, actually, Qt/Mac does use Carbon to draw widgets. It's as native as Carbon is, which being an official Apple API, is pretty damn native. Back before Qt/Mac was released, Apple helped TT with this. Qt/Mac of course doesn't use Cocoa.

Qt/Windows on WindowsXP also uses natively-drawn widgets.

Note that neither is "Native Widgets".. they are, however, "Natively-drawn".
