ttk vs tk? Opinions?

[Mark Tarver]

One thing about tk is that it does look a bit old-fashioned & 90s even if it does the job.  TCL/tk people have responded with ttk.  Anybody got any views on this?

Qt (https://www.qt.io) is the one of the most popular cross platform GUI library. I think the best approach would be to write C++ FFI and Shen bindings for (intersesting parts of) Qt. Qt looks nice and professional, widgets are skinnable. It's the first choice on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits

Not now;  I want to get this up.  I'm less interested in looks and more in functionality.  Looks can come later.

I specifically wanted to know if there was any appreciable difference between tk and the more modern ttk.

For my own projects I use Tk (since I don't care about UI look much)
except for ttk-only widgets such as ttk::treeview.

For applications to distribute I use Ttk because it looks «more native»
on Windows and OSX at least. Also, Ttk is themeable so you can change
the look for your applications if you feel the need of it.
