[ltk-user] Look and feel: tile

[Marco Gidde]

Hi,

this weekend I started playing with LTK and was really impressed, how
easy to use it is. Thank you for this nice piece of software.

But of course I have something to complain about and that's Tk's look
and feel, which is essentially the only reason I did not try LTK
earlier. Searching the web I found a few extension packages,
especially Tile, which look much nicer, and even a message from Peter,
that there is or will be some support for this in LTK.

The latest LTK version I could find is 0.88pre but it contains no hint
concerning Tile, so I tried (by copy and modify) something along the
line of

(defargs t-check-button ()
  activebackground activeforeground anchor background bitmap borderwidth cbcommand compound cursor disabledForeground font foreground height highlightbackground highlightcolor highlightthickness image indicatorOn justify offrelief offvalue onvalue overrelief padx pady relief selectcolor selectimage state takefocus text textvariable underline variable width wraplength)

(ltk::defwidget t-check-button (check-button)
  ()
  "ttk::checkbutton")

(with-ltk ()
    (format-wish "package require tile")
    ...
    (make-instance 't-check-button :master top :text "ttk checkbutton")

    ...)

and the checkbox even showed up! But this is certainly more a hack
than anything else and some real support would be very welcome.

So my question is, did I oversee some newer LTK package or an LTK
add-on or something or when will it be released? 


Regards,

Marco
