If you think perl/Tk looks awful (you're allowed to think so, I know more people that do, but it still is an opinion), tcl/Tk won't change a thing! It will look just as ugly (or beautiful) as perl/Tk. It is all Tk in the end.

If your perception of nice/beautiful is that it should match the native window styles, and zillion of people will agree with you that that is what they expect, than you should change to Wx. Be prepared to a whole lot of work in rewriting your code. The pro of Wx is that your portable App will look native on all platforms. The con of Wx (compared to Tk) is that you need a lot more code and that the App does not look the same in every environment.

It may be obvious that I prefer Tk, but I also understand that people say it shows its age.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
