WHAT IS BWIDGET ?
The BWidget Toolkit is a high-level Widget Set for Tcl/Tk built using
native Tcl/Tk 8.x namespaces.
The BWidgets have a professional look&feel as in other well known
Toolkits (Tix or Incr Widgets), but the concept is radically different
because everything is pure Tcl/Tk. No platform dependencies, and no
compiling required. The code is 100% Pure Tcl/Tk.
The BWidget library was originally developed by UNIFIX Online, and
released under both the GNU Public License and the Tcl license.
BWidget is now maintained as a community project, hosted by
Sourceforge. Scores of fixes and enhancements have been added by
community developers. See the ChangeLog file for details.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ttk support
Johann Oberdorfer has written a tile-version of BWidget consisting in
theme-based parameter switching. No native windows are used on MAC or
Windows. IMHO we need native widgets.
It is not senseful to use BWidget with Ttk due to different concepts.
For the migration of my own programs to Ttk, I implemented native Ttk
support for the widgets ScrolledWindow, Label and Button.
The documentation pages list the parameter differences.
I do not recomment using this for new projects.
To activate Ttk support, use:
Widget::themed 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENTATION
HTML manual pages are available in the BWman subdirectory. Point to
index.html for frame version with tree navigation, or to contents.html
for no frame version.

(Only showing changes since BWidget 1.9.2 release.)
2010-11-23 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* scrollw.tcl Add theming support for ScrolledWindow widget.
* ScrolledWindow.html Themed mode documented.
2010-11-21 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* label.tcl Add theming support for Label widget.
* label.html Themed mode documented.
2010-11-16 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* button.tcl Add theming support for Button widget.

Option -height is not available when themed.
Thanks to Kevin Walzer for the test on MacOS.
* buttonbox.tcl When themed, only set themed button options.
The widget itself is not jet themed.
* Dialog.html Removed documentation of unavailable option -
buttonwidth.
2010-11-09 Andreas Kupries <andr...@activestate.com>
* tree.tcl (Tree::itemconfigure): Fix intermingling of node names
and flag values which can cause an lsearch to fail, by mistaking a
flag value as the node searched for, and then treating a node name
as flags. As the upd,nodes value is a dictionary it should not be
search as a list. Now using a temporary array for quicker check
and append/replace [Bug 3106208].
2010-11-09 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* mainframe.tcl Menu text shows white on white on Mac aqua
[Bug 3105665] reported by Scott Smedley fixed by Kevin Walzer.
2010-10-15 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* label.tcl The frame surround the label gets under
unknown conditions a -padx 5. A pad of 0 is now
hard coded (Bug 3087955)
2010-08-04 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* dialog.tcl Changed behaviour of window close button.
If -cancel is given, this button is invoked.
The cancel option may now be changed using the configure
method.
* init.tcl If msgcat is available use its locale to load
a lang/*.rc file instead always using en.rc.
2010-06-09 Harald Oehlmann <oeh...@users.sourceforge.net>
* Included lang/pl.rc from HEAD.
