ANN: mactoolbar and aquahig

[Kevin Walzer]

I've released two packages to help make Tk applications fit in more
"natively" on Mac OS X.

The Mactoolbar Package

The mactoolbar package is designed to emulate the standard Cocoa toolbar
provided on OS X. On the Mac, toolbars behave a bit differently than
they do on Windows or X11; rather than having the entire button darken
when pressed, only the image and/or text darkens, and the toolbar itself
can be hidden or made visible with a button-click. As such, the usual Tk
approach to toolbars (arranging Tk or Tile buttons in a frame) requires
a bit of customization. The mactoolbar package uses a Tile frame,
labels, and bindings to implement a Cocoa-style toolbar.

The Aquahig Package

The aquahig package implements some Mac OS X-specific configurations to
selected Tk megawidgets to make them better fit in visually with Mac
interface conventions, similar to iTunes and other Mac applications.
Currently supported widgets are the BWidgets Tree, the BWidgets ListBox,
and Tablelist.

Both packages are available under the standard Tcl/Tk BSD-style license.

Enjoy!
