Over the lasts week I’ve looked into running SharpWired in Mono (thanks Peter for the help!). We launched it and found 2 issues.
The first was pretty easy to fix. We had some calls to a Windows DLL to read the icons for the file tree. I fixed this by just removing it. Instead of using the Windows native icons I think I’ll use the Tango icons. This would solve that issue.
The second seems like quite a bit more headache. We use the property DocumentText in System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser for the Chat and News windows. Setting this property is broken in Mono and I can’t find a way around it. I’m not sure how we will fix this yet. Too bad!
Update 110324: I asked a question on StackOverflow for how to fix this and got a workaround. Thanks a lot user65!
