Or, if you want the code that changes IDLE a bit, you can grab it from: http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/downloads/list Screenshots (for fun) can be found at http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/wiki/Screenshots > All the best, > > Michael >>> >>> Michael >>> >>> >> >> Regards, >> >> > > > -- > http://www.ironpythoninaction.com/ > http://www.voidspace.org.uk/blog > > > -- -- Guilherme H.
