[SS] 15Mar2004: In a tclcore ML thread about a better default Tk look&feel for Unix systems, [Jeff Hobbs] sent an interesting file with a style for Tk (see http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/Tcl-core/2022026). Since Jeff states in the email that the code can be considered Tcl-licensed, it may be more comfortable for potential users to put it in some accessible place. For now you can download it from this link: http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/TkLook/as_style.tcl.txt [PT] 15-Mar-2004: You can compare screenshots of [tkchat] with this style and a [gtklook.tcl] style here [http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/TkLook/]. I have committed a new version of tkchat that will try and use the as::style package if it can find it. The user can set a preference via then Preferences->Options dialog that will be used on the next re-start. [LES]: is there any programmatic advantage in either? They look pretty much the same to me. ---- [davidw] I have taken the x11 specific bits of this, relevant to TIP 172, and packaged them up in the style module, in tklib, along with what was formerly known as gtklook, and is now called 'lobster'. This code is available, along with the "lobster" style, at http://dedasys.com/freesoftware/files/style.tgz ---- [Category Package] | [Category GUI]
