Yes. Tkinter and Tix both share the same look n feel and are just collections of widgets. Ttk is a smaller set of widgets but uses the style of the native toolkit(or at least a much closer approximation than Tkinter). Personally the look of Tk doesn't offend me that much so I rarely bother using ttk, but if you plan on sharing apps with folks who live and breath Windows or Mac then they might feel more comfortable with ttk buttons/menus. But it does need an extra import/reference beyond Tkinter or Tix. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
