- TkSTEP 0.3b3 (Tk 4.1)
-
- NEXTSTEP(tm)-lookalike-wanabee-hack-kit for Tk
-
- Alfredo K. Kojima
- <kojima@inf.ufrgs.br>
-
- Apparently the files in version 0.2 were not the modified files,
- but the original ones. That's due to a stupid error in a script
- I made to gather the files and make the package. Sorry about that.
-
- This is a set of Tk 4.1 files with some modifications to make it look like
- NEXTSTEP(tm)'s interface.
-
- Since I've never used NEXTSTEP(tm) I can't guarantee that it really
- looks like the Real Thing, it is only based on what
- I saw on pictures and screen shots. Feel free to mail me about what is
- wrong and what else I should change. Screen shots with the
- NEXTSTEP(tm) widget set would help me a lot.
-
- It is probably 100% compatible with the original tk library, so you can just
- replace the libraries and run any Tk program normally.
-
- Although nothing have been changed on the command interfaces, some
- things will not do what it used to do. e.g. Changes on ScrollBar's base
- relief (trough?) will not change anything on the ScrollBar apearence and
- neither will get any complaints about it. Some default configurations of
- widgets have also changed.
-
- If you find that some code that worked with the original Tk4.1 doesn't
- with this one, please tell me, also sending the piece of code with the
- problem.
-
- Equivalent code for itcl2.1 is included (by Justin Seiferth
- <seiferth@netcom.com>).
-
- To get better results, use it with BowMan or AfterStep. BowMan is a
- window manager that emulates the look and feel of the NEXTSTEP user interface.
- AfterStep is a continuation of BowMan.
