[D. McC] 2009 Jan 25: Some people actually seem to prefer the [GTK]2 look to anything you can get with [Tk], even in 8.5. I don't for the most part, but I've got to admit I've never seen anything in Tk that looks as cool as the bubbly blue buttons and bars of the GTK2 Stardust theme. I've tried [gnocl], which picked up on the Stardust theme right away—but, at least on first impression, I am ''not'' too favorably impressed by [gnocl]'s functionality or ease of use compared to Tk. So ... I was just wondering whether anyone has developed, or is developing, or might conceivably develop, a Stardust-like theme for the easy-to-use and highly functional [Ttk] widgets. Yes? Please?! ---- [NEM] 2009-01-26: You could try [TileGTK]. [D. McC] 2009 Jan 28: No, I couldn't, until I see some documentation explaining how to use it. I downloaded the [TileGTK] 0.2 tarball and all I got was one shared object, a package index, and one Tcl script, no documentation. I don't see any documentation online, either. Am I missing something? ---- [WJG] (26-Jan-09) On your comments on Gnocl. Its good to hear that you are favorably (thought not excessively) impressed by Gnocl functionality. Gnocl is not a Tk look-alike. As it implements a Gtk/Gnome interface inevitably commands and options will reflect those Gtk library calls they provide access to, something which will cause some surprises for those committed to Tk. In terms of ease of use, its just as easy or difficult as any other Tcl package. Gnocl is a complex [package], sure, and takes some time to adjust to, just like Tk. But, of course, it is totally Gtk+ compliant. [D. McC] 2009 Jan 28: I'm favorably impressed by ''some'' of [gnocl]'s functionality. I can get used to the rather different geometry management. I can live with the less exhaustive documentation, as long as it gives me at least some hint of how to do things. One thing I can't live with, though, is a three-line text widget that won't let me specify a different size! When I try, I get an error message saying "-height" and "-width" aren't valid configuration options for a [gnocl] text widget. When I look at the documentation, I draw a blank about how to tell a text widget how big to be. If you, or anyone, can tell me how to do this, I'll give [gnocl] a more thorough look. If not, I won't, because I need a text widget about 20 lines high, not three lines, for a project I'm working on (right now employing easy-to-use, highly functional, and well-documented Tk and Ttk widgets). ---- !!!!!! %| [Category GUI] |% !!!!!!
