| Hi,
I am writing Tcl/Tk GUI program on Linux/Unix, and I want to get the
interface looking better than native linux is. Can I do that? How?
On the other hand, can i change the main looking of the "check box"
widget such that it contains true or false characters (=96 and X
signs)?? How can I configure that too? Like that in this particular
image: http://images.elektroda.net/42_1206439343.jpg
Thanks and best regards,
Ahmad

The best looking Ttk theme for Linux right now is Clam (given that I'm
using a GTK-based desktop) though I think there's room for some far
better ones.

Perhaps the OP will create some and submit them back to the community.

You say that like there is no competition. But I, for one, prefer
the Plastik theme.

Yes, but if you use kde (as I do) its the same style you use in kde
(through tileqt :-) )

IMO, getting an equivalent for gtk should be a high priority, since that
makes it possible for really good vendor customization of Tk on all
Linux platforms.

That's not a default Ttk theme. Installable themes are all very well,
but I want the "Out-of-Box Experience" to be good.

Well, the fact that I don't use (and don't like) gnome, is an important
obstacle for me tackling this task :-)
But having written tileqt, I expect something like "tilegtk" to be even
easier, as the gtk++ library has functions for drawing every element of
a widget. Qt is significantly more complex, as it does not offer similar
functions, and likes to draw a widget as a whole...

Any chance of adding Tileqt to ActiveState's Teapot repository? (And in
such a way that it's immediately usable from Tile once installed with
teacup?)
Also, add me to the list of people who think a Gnome integrated theme for
Ttk would be very nifty too :-).
