Hello Perlmonks

I want/need to make my Perl/Tk app to accept themes.
Tkx seems the way to go. Yesterday I tried to do the
first conversion, but I was not very successful.
The grid does not behave as expected when placing scrollbars.

My original code:

use Tk;
use Tk::HList;
use Tk::LabFrame;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $gui_period_f = $mw->LabFrame(
    -label       => "report month",
    -labelside   => 'acrosstop',
    -relief      => 'groove',
    -borderwidth => '5'
);
my $b_period = $gui_period_f->Button(
    -text       => "change year",
    -command    => sub { &do_select_period },
    -foreground => 'darkgrey'
);
my $gui_period = $gui_period_f->Scrolled(
    qw/HList
      -background grey
      -scrollbars se
      -height 5
      -width 35/
);

#    $gui_period->bind( '<ButtonRelease-1>' => \&show_period );
$gui_period->configure( -selectmode => 'single' );
$gui_period->configure( -browsecmd  => \&show_period );
$gui_period->configure( -separator  => '+' );

$gui_period_f->grid(
    -row     => 1,
    -column  => 0,
    -rowspan => 2,
    -sticky  => 'nsew'
);
$b_period->grid(
    -row     => 1,
    -column  => 0,
    -rowspan => 1,
    -sticky  => 'nsew'
);
$gui_period->grid(
    -row     => 2,
    -column  => 0,
    -rowspan => 1,
    -sticky  => 'nsew'
);

MainLoop;

A straight conversion to Tkx looks like this:

use Tkx;
my $mw = Tkx::widget->new(".");

my $gui_period_f = $mw->new_ttk__labelframe(
    -text        => "report period",
    -labelanchor => 'ne',
    -relief      => 'groove',
    -borderwidth => '5'
);

my $b_period = $gui_period_f->new_ttk__button(
    -text    => "change year",
    -command => sub { &do_select_period() },

    #-foreground => $dark
);

my $gui_period = $gui_period_f->new_ttk__treeview(

    #-background => 'grey',
    -height => 5,

    #  -width => 35
);

my $gui_period_sbv = $mw->new_ttk__scrollbar(
    -command => [ $gui_period, "yview" ],
    -orient  => "vertical"
);
my $gui_period_sbh = $mw->new_ttk__scrollbar(
    -command => [ $gui_period, "xview" ],
    -orient  => "horizontal"
);
$gui_period->configure( -yscrollcommand => [ $gui_period_sbv, "set" ] 
+);
$gui_period->configure( -xscrollcommand => [ $gui_period_sbh, "set" ] 
+);

$gui_period_f->g_grid(
    -row        => 1,
    -column     => 0,
    -rowspan    => 3,
    -columnspan => 2,
    -sticky     => 'nwes'
);
$b_period->g_grid(
    -row    => 1,
    -column => 0,
    -sticky => 'nwes'
);
$gui_period->g_grid(
    -row    => 2,
    -column => 0,
    -sticky => 'nwes'
);
$gui_period_sbv->g_grid(
    -row    => 2,
    -column => 1,
    -sticky => 'ns'
);
$gui_period_sbh->g_grid(
    -row    => 3,
    -column => 0,
    -sticky => 'we'
);

Tkx::MainLoop();

Can someone tell me how to attach scrollbars with Tkx 'the right way'?

Thank you all
