People should probably be more aware of work that has been going on with Tk recently (after a fairly long hiatus) in terms of greatly improving its appearance, adding theming, and more. It's worth checking out, and of course, if there's a way to help get some of these changes into Tkinter, the Tk folks would I'm sure be helpful. Here's a portion of a note that Jeff Hobbs posted to the Ruby group recently, on a similar topic: > From: Jeff Hobbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: The definitive GUI for Ruby > Date: Wed, 05 Oct 2005 11:02:46 -0700 > Newsgroups: comp.lang.ruby > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Eustaquio Rangel de Oliveira J wrote: > > Tk is still too ugly for make programmers that are > > migrating. :-) > > Tk is only ugly if that's the way you like it.
