I didn't get the other mails (because of my spam filter I think) but I see Phil calling me a liar :p
What I said is that the one I made with snit objects (clgui.tcl) doesn't support and never will support background images. But, I think this is a better design then the guicontactlist.tcl one (the one you want to make default now, which was started by Burger but where I did a lot of work on). Tom's contactlist.tcl is somewhat the same design as clgui.tcl but uses his own widgets for placing widgets on a canvas. This makes background images etc possible and is very beautiful, well designed etc... but imo it's rather slow. guicontactlist.tcl was promising and I believed it wasn't going to be slow but now it just it while there's a lot still unfinished. I vote (if that's still possible) for something like clgui.tcl but without first changing the whole abook.tcl code to something snit-based. This is what stopped me further working on it. I also said, once you support a background image but then see the new CL you have is too slow you can't change easily to one without background images. Karel.
