Depends on what you mean by "essentially". Gecko renders HTML, Sophie  
does not.

The Sophie UI (dialogs etc.) is specified using XUL - it describes how  
big a dialog is, where to place which widgets, and how they should  
look. These attributes come from cascading style sheets (CSS) so they  
are properly inherited / overridden by sub-controls. But the actual  
widgets such styled are regular Tweak widgets (though style support  
was added). You could use the same framework to style a Morphic UI.
