Version 29 of awlight ttk theme

Updated 2019-12-08 00:48:56 by bll

Current Version: 7.6 (2019-12-7)

Available at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl-awthemes/

bll 2019-11-30: Version 7.0 splits out the theme specific data into separate files.

bll 2019-11-23: Version 6.0 adds the winxpblue scalable theme.

bll 2019-11-19: Version 5.0 features an additional scaling setting for use by the application, and the ability to create a scaled style, giving different graphics sizes for the same theme using the new style.

bll 2019-10-4: With version 4.0, support for other themes has been added. A scalable 'black' theme has been implemented.

bll 2019-10-7: With version 3.0, if tksvg is present, the graphics will scale according to the tk scaling setting.

bll 2018-9-1: See also: awdark ttk theme. Uses graphics for the checkbuttons and radiobuttons. The notebook tab top color is created dynamically. Everything else is based on the clam theme.

  • Focus box around notebook tabs is larger.
  • Focus box for checkbuttons and radiobuttons covers both the indicator and the text.
  • Includes helper routines to set the colors for menu, listbox and text.

On Mac OS X for versions prior to 8.6.10, to override the aqua styled scrollbars, use:

ttk::scrollbar .sb -style Vertical.TScrollbar
ttk::scrollbar .sb -style Horizontal.TScrollbar

The -style option must be present when the scrollbar is created, an aqua scrollbar cannot be reconfigured.

 Application Scaling

In order to match the theme graphics size to the font size, the application can:

   tk scaling 1.3888 ; # set the tk scaling appropriate to the user's computer

   set sz1 [font metrics TkDefaultFont -ascent] ; # the default font size for Tk
   set sz2 [font metrics appfont -ascent]       ; # the application font default size
   set scale [expr {double(sz2)/double(sz1)}]   ; # calculate the scaling ratio
   ::themeutils::setThemeColors awdark \
       scale.factor $scale
   package require awdark 

 Scaled Styles

Same theme, different styles, different graphics sizes:

A new style with appropriately sized graphics can be created. For example, the application may have a base application font size used everywhere, and an alternate sized font for data listings.

The application can then:

  package require awdark
  if { [info commands ::ttk::theme::[ttk::style theme use]::scaledStyle] ne {} } {
    ::ttk::theme::[ttk::style theme use]::scaledStyle Listing mainfont listingfont
  }

Then the data listings are created using Listing.TCheckbutton, Listing.TCombobox, etc. which match the font size specified.

All of the Listing.* widgets have re-configured graphics sizes to match the specified font.

::ttk::theme::awlight::setMenuColors .menuwidget

Sets the menu colors and also changes any checkbutton and radiobutton types to use thematic images. Run this after adding all the menu items to the menu.

Side effect: The menu will have -hidemargin set to true.

If you don't want the thematic images, run it before adding your menu items (and set -hidemargin back to false).

::ttk::theme::awlight::setTextColors .textwidget ?-dark?

Sets the text widget colors. If -dark is specified, the darker background color (as for entry) will be used.

::ttk::theme::awlight::setListboxColors .listboxwidget

Sets the listbox widget colors.

::ttk::theme::awdark::setBackground color

Changes the background color and all other colors to match. (like tk_setPalette). This will also call setTextColors, setListboxColors and setMenuColors on all registered widgets.

::ttk::theme::awdark::setHighlight color

Changes the highlight color.
