Build Identifier: 

Scout MessageBox are not rendered as they should be under Mac OS X. 

See Apple Guideline [1]



Related forum post [2]



Some inputs:
This article [3] recommends to use the SHEET style for dialog.

The Scout MessageBox Model allows to have a title, Mac OS X Sheet-Window do not have any. The text contained in the MessageBox should apears in the Sheet-Window (maybe on top with bold font)

Apple recommends to have standard buttons.
Does the Scout MessageBox Model plans what the default button is?

The article [3] proposes to use the JFace Util class in order to add plattform specific code. Is there an other recommendation in Eclipse Scout ?

SWT support for Scout is no longer maintained in the open source domain. In case you need bugfixes for releases prior to Neon consider commercial options.
