Thanks for all this.
Patch applied to cvs. You can get direct cvs access if you want.

Me still lives with 8.4

I'm usually completely lost using TEA on windows why I keep VC++ projects around.

Couldn't you just append the ttk stubs API to the tk ones?

I added TEA_ADD_LIBS([-lcairo]) since I wasn't sure how the dynamic loading worked.

I was experimenting with various ways to draw the background but I couldn't find
any working. Just mailed Georgios about this. The intention is to let go
the direct linking to uxtheme and gdiplus and do it dynamically in the code
as tile does it. I need to understand this.
