Title: Re: More si_monitortk ideas

Hi Andrea:

 

I made the modifications, the background of the progress bar is more obvious, but I still cannot see the progress bar.  I am testing on Fedora Core 5 with perl-Tk-804.026.

 

With my "widget" application, there is no #15, it only goes up to #5.

 

I have no problems seeing other perl-Tk progress bars (we have one with SystemInstaller's Image creation GUI), so I'm not sure what the problem is.

 

I'll try to take a look at this later.

 

Can you perhaps take a screenshot?

 

BTW, I would recommend moving the "Status" column to the end so that when you highlight the row, there won't be a huge gap.

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

I'm using perl-Tk-800.024-433. Anyway it should work... it's a standard
Tk object... please try to change also:

-borderwidth => 0
-relief      => 'flat'

with:

-borderwidth => 1
-relief      => 'sunken'

Moreover if you run the perl-Tk demo `widget` the last example (#15 in
the user contrib section) is a progress bar demo. I simple get the
progress bar definition from here. So check also if you're able to see
those bars...

Cheers,
-Andrea
