Thanks eb303 for the wonderful post I have looked over the new ttk widgets and everything looks nice. I am very glad to see the death of Tix as i never much liked it anyhow and always believed these widgets should have been in the main Tkinter module to start with. The tree widget has been needed for some time.
However, i am not sure about the new "style" separation. Previously a simple command like root.option_add('*Label.Font'...) accomplished the same thing with less typing, but there may be a future method to this current madness that i am unaware of...??? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
