... or, maybe Tk widgets don't look fine, but, after Tile, they will.

RLH - I think fine is a good word for it. I don't really have a problem with an application that doesn't look quite native. Now when Tile is rolled in, it will look native and that is a bit better than fine.


I removed the OS X screenshots because they have nothing to do with this page. The ones pointing to corporate sites with little or very hard to find screenshots could probably use some trimming too...

As for the rest, is this page supposed to convince me that Tk widgets look fine, or that they don't? Since it certainly seems to be the latter... the only screenshots that don't instantly strike me as non-native (and not just "not quite", but very different) are those of InstallBase and IPAT


AM (8 february 2006) I looked at some of these screendumps and I can not but conclude that they - in general - do not look less native (as far as the Windows platform is concerned) than many a MicroSoft product. Just think of the style differences between Visual Studio version 6.0 and version 7.0 (.NET) ... So, perhaps there is no actual native look under Windows?
