The built-in tile themes that ship with Tk 8.5 don't look very fancy on unix/linux platforms. A number of additional themes is being maintained in the tile-themes module of the tktable project on SourceForge.

You can obtain these themes by checking them out with [cvs]:

 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tktable.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tktable login
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tktable.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tktable co -P tile-themes

There are two types of themes:

   1. Pixmap themes
   1. Binary themes

**Pixmap themes**

There are currently (9 Aug 2009) four pixmap themes in the tile-themes module: '''plastik''', '''keramik''', '''Aquativo''', and '''winxpblue'''. The last two require some form of PNG support to be available. Below is a screenshot of what these themes look like (in the order mentioned above). I tried to recreate the same gui that [DKF] used for his demo on the [tile] page.

**Binary themes**

The tile-themes module also contains two binary themes: '''tileqt''' and '''tilegtk'''.
