perlquestion Limbic~Region All, <br /> After about 4 years, I have finally crossed "learn [cpan://Tk]" off my to-do list. I was commenting in freenode's #perl that it looked horrible and I would be moving to another framework when [Khisanth] asked why don't I use one of the Win32 themes using [http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/|Tile] widgets. The screen shots were impressive, so I figured I would give it a try. <p> I contacted the author of [cpan://Tk] and received a quick reply that Tile support is scheduled for the next release but that there was no timetable for that. I searched a bit and read something where [cpan://Tkx] provided access to more Tk/tcl stuff and I decided to give it a try. Once I read through the [cpan://Tkx::Tutorial|tutorial] and the glaze on my eyes wore off, I emailed the author. Though I received a timely response, miscommunication on my part didn't result in the answer I was hoping for. </p> <p> I pressed on without the first clue what I was doing and came up with the following: </p> <c> #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Tkx; Tkx::package_require('tile'); Tkx::tile__setTheme('xpnative'); my $mw = Tkx::widget->new("."); $mw->new_ttk__button( -text => 'Hello, world', -command => sub { $mw->g_destroy; }, )->g_pack; Tkx::MainLoop(); </c> <p> Yay! It works and looks good on Win32. Unfortunately, it seems like almost none of the knowledge I gained while learning [cpan://Tk] is transferrable to [cpan://Tkx]. </p> <p> Does anyone have any hints on making Tk on Win32 both easy <b>and</b> pretty? I plan on learning other cross-platform frameworks such as [cpan://Wx] in the future so suggesting them here is not useful (to me). </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-180961"> <p> Cheers - [Limbic~Region|L~R] </p> </div></div>
