Didn't understand the comment about g_grid. Can you use just g_grid in the example you posted? I can't get it to work if $sw->g_pack(....) isn't used.

If I change your script example to have $sw->g_grid(-column > => 0, -row => 0, -sticky => "nsew") instead of $sw->g_pack(....), > it doesn't work correctly. Is there a way to use g_grid throughout? Yes, and I would recommend g_grid. You have to use grid column/rowconfigure to get the fine-grained weighting (stretching) control, e.g.: Tkx::grid(rowconfigure => $mw, 1, -weight => 1); Tkx::grid(columnconfigure => $mw, 0, -weight => 1); Will stretch all items in row 1 vertically, and all items in col 0 horizontally.
