Functionality never goes out of style for people who really know what they want out of an application. I honestly can't think of too many things you can't accomplish with Tkinter if you're writing a GUI app. Of course the great thing is that with a little tweaking here and there, your Tkinter app can look as beautiful as you like!

However, I am using Tkinter in one of my shareware programs: http://www.codebykevin.com/packetstream.html (there's a screenshot) This application makes use of some recent advances in Tk development, including Tile (see http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TileWrapper for the Python wrapper). It also makes use of some nice Tkinter widgets such as ToolTip (http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/ToolTip). If you pay attention to some of the specifics of the platform you are targeting (this app is for Mac OS X users) and to other points of application design, such as icons (I find the Tango set to be very polished and well-suited for the Mac; it doesn't scream "Linux"), then I think it's quite possible to make a nice, polished, professional-looking application with Tkinter. I'm curious if anyone has thought about gathering a listing of other Tkinter applications, commercial or otherwise, that are well-designed/attractive. Perhaps a screenshot page at the Tkinter wiki or elsewhere? - -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFFntpOEsLm8HXyq4sRAuxMAJQOpHKZf9dGrxO/0F0UVIPMr8vZAJsGIHT9 pYgEgO+j2Q83GocIWWOzqA== =7aqI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss End of Tkinter-discuss Digest, Vol 35, Issue 3 ********************************************** __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
