Subject: Re: McCLIM 0.9.4 "Orthodox New Year" released!

For example the Tibco console: The background seems to be plain white. Neither the pin-striped background nor the (often critized) brushed-metal look is used. The form fields are grouped by frames which look wrong (they could have more rounded borders and normally have a pin-striped background in non-brushed-metal apps I know). The two buttons on the right sight (both embedded in their own bordered box) and the red background in the input fields were the things that look really tcl/tk'ish to my eye. > Anyway, one of Tilton's Laws applies here: it's a Tibco console Of course - and looking good is certainly not the most important thing > emulator, not an F-16 cockpit simulator: it is /supposed/ to look > boring* (tho I am jawboning them to make it go PING in the next release). for this kind of app - so I hope the developers do not take this as an offense :-) I actually have never built anything using tcl/tk and therefore cannot say how difficult it is or if it is even possible to make those apps look more native. ciao, You must Sign in before you can post messages.
