**Introduction** '''Ttk''' is the [Tile] extension integrated into [Tk] as approved in [TIP] #248 [http://tip.tcl.tk/248]. See http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/ttk_intro.htm as well as other Ttk widget pages that can be found at http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/contents.htm . This page details the transition from the existing [Tile] extension to '''Ttk''' functionality inside the [Tk] source base. There is no special '''Ttk''' package in Tk. It is simply part of Tk 8.5a6+ and will not be made a separate binary library. It will use the '''ttk::''' namespace for the most part, sharing the '''tk::''' namespace and toplevel commands where appropriate. The classic [Tk] widgets will all be referenceable from the '''tk::''' namespace, in addition to remaining as toplevel commands (''for 8.x at least''). See also [http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/doc/internals.txt] [JE] Also: it's worth considering removing some or all of tk/generic/tkStyle.c (TIP#48 support) ---- **Questions** [LV] 2007 Nov 01 Bottom line question - if someone wants (or needs) to use a ttk [widget], what do they need to do to begin. Would someone who is familar with ttk be willing to write a step by step example of moving a relatively simple application from being an original Tk widget application to an application using Tk and Ttk? ---- 0.7.8 tile source base => Tk source base integration (completed 2006-10-30) tile: => tk aclocal.m4 => ''n/a'' ChangeLog => ''n/a'' configure* => ''n/a'' configure.in => ''n/a'' demos/ => library/demos/...

What we need in 8.5 is straight new demos that update the regular demos with fully themed widgets. This is something that we really need to work on for 8.5.0 (and ongoing). ---- http://www.tkdocs.com/ has begun publishing a series of articles that introduce the reader to [tcl] and ttk. ---- !!!!!! %|[Category GUI]|[Category Package]|[Category Widget]|% !!!!!!
