[Tcllib-devel] More, More, More (How do you like it?)

[Damon C. <da...@yo...>]

    Yeah, I know.  You're probably getting tired of reading these. 0-]

    The NoteBook widget has a -background option which specifies the
background color for the tab.  This doesn't seem very intuitive to me
and doesn't really provide a way to configure the background for the
frame itself.  So, I propose:

    Rename -background to -tabbackground.

    Add -background as the window background color.

    Should -foreground also be renamed to -tabforeground for symmetry?
-foreground doesn't make any sense to frames, but just to keep things
even. *shrug*

    Also, how would everyone feel about making BWidgets exist under
a single namespace?  As it is currently, a namespace is created for
each and every widget.  There's no real reason for it, and I don't
really care for it.  It clutters things up, IMHO.

    Does anyone rely on the current structure of namespaces?  You
probably shouldn't as they really should be considered sort of
private and therefore subject to change.

    Should we prep a BWidget 2.0 with these kinds of changes in mind?
Should we fork a separate project for a newer release?  I'd really
like to make a 2.0 release that is 8.4+ and remove the widgets which
now have Tk core equivalents.

    I don't get much in the way of responses to these e-mails, but
I also won't just go changing things willy nilly.  I also think
that not NEARLY enough people use the phrase "willy nilly."  That is
all.  Thank you for your kind attention.
