I am a Mac developer, mostly in Tcl/Tk. See my software page at [http://www.codebykevin.com] and my blog at [http://www.codebykevin.com/blosxom.cgi] and my consulting page at [http://www.codebykevin.com/consulting.html].

In addition to several commercial products using [Tk], [Tcl] and [Python], I am one of the core maintainers of the Tk-Aqua port, and primary author of the Tk-Aqua FAQ at [http://wiki.tcl.tk/12987]. I am also the author of several open-source Tcl/Tk packages, both C-level and script-level, to improve Tk's integration on OS X. These packages include the following:

[tkdock] - manipulate the Dock icon on OS X

[macsheet] - custom sheet dialogs on OS X

[tkmacicons] - use Mac-native icons in an application

[aquahig] - sensible Mac-conforming defaults for some Tk widgets

[macgrowl]  - Tcl integration with the Mac Growl notification system

[cocoaprint] - Native Mac print dialogs

[mactoolbar] - Native Mac toolbar

[prefstoolbar] - Native Mac preferences toolbar

[tclservices] - Access to the Mac's Services menu

[quicklook] - Integration with Mac's QuickLook file preview

[macnotify] - bounce the Dock icon for user alerts

[windowlist] - implements a Mac-standard "window" menu item

I've also developed some cross-platform Tk widgets:

[tkwebview] - parses and displays simple HTML

[SimpleDND] - intra-application drag-and-drop

[MG] A friend has recently built a Mac App Bundle for my code (since I don't have access to a Mac); your tutorials on your website were very useful. We've also added [tkdock] to manipulate the dock icon, as it seems there's no icon support for MacOS in the core yet - would it be worth [TIP]ing the [tkdock] code to go into the core as [wm iconbitmap] on MacOS? (Possibly with a new [wm attributes] -badge for the other functionality.)
