No, there are no docs on the new features right now. Is anyone
interested to pitch in and help ?
For propagate you need to refer to the documentation for pack and grid.
This option controls how widgets adjust to the size of the subwidgets
they contain. Basically if propagate is off (by defaults it is always
on), they will not adjust.
Reset to default:
Will set the option back to its default value.
Do not save option:
Will uncheck the box next to the option. This means the option will
not be saved into the project file (can be useful to prevent saving
colors such as the background color for cross-platform projects)
Save option:
Will check the box next to the option, which means the option will
be saved into the project file.
Apply to:
Will apply the value for this option to other widgets (for instance,
you may want to change all the buttons in your project to a blue
background).
The submenus mean:
This Widget
Only modifies the option for this widget
Same Class Subwidgets
Will apply the option to the selected widget and all subwidgets
of the same class if may contain. For example if you select a frame, all
other frames contained within the selected frame will be affected.
All Same Class Widgets in toplevel
Will apply the option to all widgets of the same class in the
toplevel window. For example, if you select a frame, all frames within
the toplevel will be affected.
All Same Class Widgets in this project
Will apply the option to all widgets of the same class in the
project. For example, you could change the relief of buttons to flat,
and this would affect all the buttons in your project.
1.6 does not handle the .vtclrc file any differently than 1.52 or 1.2
On Unix systems it stores it under your root directory, that is ~/
On Windows systems it uses the $env(HOME) variable to determine where to
store .vtclrc. On Windows XP this will be something like C:\Documents
and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings.
