in reply to Tk, Tcl/Tk, Tkx

If you just want better looks, try Tcl::pTk, its like using Tk.pm

After that the only sane choice is Tcl::Tk

Tkx? Never choose it voluntarily, Tkx is the worst possible option, its practically abandonware

    Tcl::pTk fails all the tests It also complains that Tix is not included. Is this true (something I can ignore... ??) Am I missing something?

      Can't really ignore it, Tix plays a part in the "looks".

      Should be simple to install, last time I did it with http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/

      teacup update-self teacup verify teacup install Tix teacup install Plotchart teacup install ctext
        Aah... that may be the problem, I was not using ActiveState.

        Something to think about

        Thank you
