Also, I think it would be best to start with something smaller.. about the "we can start at least from a tab", I'd say no, because the preferences window redesign isn't about "making it different", it's about completely changing it.. look at the start of preferences.tcl, Alvaro (I think) started that a long time ago, you don't get to write 'checkbutton $w.opt1 -variable ..; label $w.opt1lab -text ..' you do '$prefs append [CheckboxFrame -text ... -variable ..]" or something.. it should be a new API, and a complete redesign.. have vertical pseudo tabs on the left, etc.. maybe even move to tcl/tk 8.5 and use ttk instead of tk. and definitely use object oriented programming (snit or tcl/tk 8.6 oo::class stuff) and all that is not possible to do with the current preferences dialog.. so even if you start with a tab, that tab would have to be completely rewritten. Anyways, that's just my personal opinion, maybe others disagree! Good luck!
