To Greg: Thanks. I need to know what is the reasonable way to implement the theme as simple as possible for plent of widgets and can be easily updated with the new release of fltk-1.3.x.
TO imacarthur: I am using fltk-1.3.x. I hope the look of all widgets can be changed by a single call, just like the plastic-scheme and gtk-scheme do. But it seemed that I have to patch the code to change Fl_Box? Aqua-style tabs? Do you mean the colorful tabs.cxx in the test directory of current release of fltk-1.3.x?
