[Tile-dev] Default look vs custom-made look

[Sori S. <sx...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, so I hope I won't ask something
that was already asked.

My platform: Gentoo 2005, KDE, Tcl/Tk 8.4, Python
2.4.1. I'm working in Python.

I installed recently Tiles, and found them an
excellent idea - change consistently the look and feel
of a whole application in only three lines of code.
Then I stumbled over the following problem: sometime I
want to overwrite the default theme's look and
enforce, say, a yellow background on a label when
using, say, the blue theme. Not always possible:
Tkinter, Tix and Pmw label won't bulge, while BWidget
labels will. Same for bg in entries - none will let me
do it. Pmw is offering some bg themes for validating
data or marking it read-only - it's not working
anymore. Now, there is to much consistency.

Everything takes the values given by the Tile theme.
Is it possible to enforce Tile theme's graphical
values only for defaults, and let the programmer
change things at will? Or is it to late relative to
where the package is going?

Thanks for a great package,
Sorin Schwimmer
