I agree with flyingmoose about writing the GUI in code. You've got much more control over what you're doing and can tweak it as you desire or need to. Perhaps mave's suggestion will be the ticket for you.

When I write Tk apps, it's easier for me to layout my interface in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, using the rulers set in pixel, and figure out the exact placement points of where I wanted everything to go. That way I have my layout set, and can easily movepieces if I don't like where they're placed. Then I draw dark lines and print the picture, and put the x-y coordinates on the lines. I prefer using cooridinate geometry in Tk, as I find it easier than the compass point geometry.

Hope that helps!

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
