In the middle of that a Tile booster argues strenuously against mixing Tile
with Tk classic because of the visual nastiness of combining native with Tk
classic, which I certainly can imagine. They are saying, look, you want
native (Tile) or you want the same appearance on two different platforms
(Tk), make up yer mind.

Fortunately, they say, the decision is easier for new code since old code
requires some porting. One guy has 50kloc of Tcl. whoa.



Nice.I think I'll try porting Celtk to just use Tile. Some of those themes
