Harry, your idea still doesn't work, because you'd have to implement so much,
Tk is not just about widgets, it's
about anything graphical, so you'll need to implement the winfo comamnd which
is huge, implement the image command,
and other stuff like that, it's a lot of work, and to make it compatible with
tk's widgets, it would be huge, in the
same way as wrapping gnocl.. since all gnocl does is wrap the gtk functions, so
your wishgtk is the exact same thing
as a plugin wrapping gnocl, only it will be written in C instead of tcl.. makes
no sense!
Also, why don't you use Chameleon ? I'm sure the easiest way is to write a
simple program that transforms a .gtkrc
file into a tile compatible .tcl theme package, and use the gtk images for the
theme, in the exact same way the
aquativo and winxpblue themes are created (only diff is that you'll generate
the .tcl file instead of creating it by
hand).. if you do it for all gtk themes, then you get all the gtk themes, all
that is left is to create a simple
extension that would get the default gtk theme and have callbacks being called
when the theme changes so it can
notify chameleon to change the theme.. how about that ?
