Anyone know if there's a Vista theme in the works for Ttk?
Theme xpnative looks pretty good but there are still quite a few
differences.

What differences do you note?

xptheme uses the "Visual Styles" WIN32 API, which --
as I understand it -- is unchanged from XP to Vista.
But I have only seen Vista machines at a safe distance,
so don't know all the details.

Hi Joe!
I've been using Vista for a few months now and have noticed a few cosmetic differences. I have a Vista machine on my left and an XP machine on my right so it's easy to compare.

What I've noticed so far:
- Combobox: When the box is 'readonly' (not enterable, user must select from defined list) the box assumes a different shape and color/texture altogether.
- Indeterminate progress bar - the indeterminate indicator is wider and sort of fuzzed out on the ends.
....

Are there any plans to "Ttk-ify" Menus, Listboxes, and Spinboxes?
- On Vista, Menu and listbox selection lines should be slightly transparent light blue and with a slightly darker border line around it.
- Spinboxes buttons should be blue and highlight in blue when the mouse hovers over them.

Also, I noticed that a Ttk Scale widget appears to be in 8.5 (yes!) but it doesn't appear to be documented? Any others?

If you'd like I can do a detailed analysis with screenshots, etc. comparing the Ttk widgets on both Vista and XP and post my findings, but only as long as you think it might be useful for someone to do something with the information.


Thanks again for all your work on the Tile/Ttk widgets Joe, that was a lot of work and IMHO breathed new life into Tk AND Tcl!
