Hi, does any one know of a way to make ttk auto-detect third-party themes (like the ones from the tile-themes project at http://tktable.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tktable/tile-themes/ )?
Here I installed these (as I thought) properly on my system (debian linux); "installed" means that I copied the whole tile-themes folder to /usr/lib, and added a pkgIndex.tcl file that contains the following two lines: set themesdir [file join [pwd] [file dirname [info script]]] lappend auto_path $themesdir This works at least partially, but ttk now shows the following odd behavior: >>> import Tkinter, ttk >>> root = Tkinter.Tk() >>> s = ttk.Style() >>> s.theme_names() ('clam', 'alt', 'default', 'classic') >>> root.tk.call('ttk::themes') ('classic', 'default', 'clam', 'alt') >>> s.theme_use('winxpblue') >>> s.theme_names() ('clam', 'alt', 'default', 'winxpblue', 'classic') >>> root.tk.call('ttk::themes') ('keramik', 'plastik', 'clam', 'winxpblue', 'alt', 'Aquativo', 'classic', 'default', 'keramik_alt') >>> Apparently here ttk::themes works better than theme_names(), although for some reason it is not in ttk.py, but both fail to find the extra themes before one is loaded for the first time. Has any one an idea, is there a way to change the pkgIndex.tcl file so that ttk will find the themes automagically or isn't this possible at all?
