I just ran across Tk Tile. Seems to be all the rage. Also seems like

be built into Tk 8.5. Is LTk going that way?
That would be great, as I think tile is really an improvement. Concerning ltk, just look at ltk-tile.lisp,
Oh. Never mind. :)
it is not complete, but
support is already there :)
Wow, Tile just drops right in.

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 look a lot nicer than standard Tk.
So.... support both? Even at the same time, against all advice?
Yowza: "The base widgets are button http://wiki.tcl.tk/1048s, sliders, label http://wiki.tcl.tk/1436s, entry http://wiki.tcl.tk/1428, framehttp://wiki.tcl.tk/1051s, treeview, and notebook http://wiki.tcl.tk/2298. There is no listboxhttp://wiki.tcl.tk/1437, canvas http://wiki.tcl.tk/1415, menu http://wiki.tcl.tk/1006s, or texthttp://wiki.tcl.tk/1402widget. [Anyone care to add a comment as to why this is the case?]"
I cann see listbox being just a treeview without subnodes, and maybe they just have not goteen to menus... anyway, i think I will just get back to work and forget Tile till I learn more.
