Widget styles in Tk

Open asb-capfan opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Since Tk 8.5 I think new nice-looking (non-motiv) widgets are supported / included in Tk. Is there any plan to move to this Tk version, allowing to create somewhat beautiful GUI applications using Perl/Tk? If there is a plan - is there a way to help?

This is quite a big project, currently too big for my time budget :-( Roughly the following things needs to be done:

incorporating the new original Tk C code into pTk/mTk, while retaining the numerous patches done for Perl/Tk (in the past this was done using a p4 repository and an unknown workflow, but this knowledge is not available anymore since the death of NI-S)
translating the Tcl portions of Tk to Perl code --- partially with the help of tcl2perl, but probably a tedious manual task, especially because some of the .pm code has diverged from the original .tcl code
