One of the bad things about Tk/Tkinter is that it does not pick up
|
||||
the current color and font scheme from the prevailing CDE/KDE/GNOME/Windows
|
||||
window manager scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the good things about Tk/Tkinter is that it is not tied to one
|
||||
particular widget set so it could pick up the current color and font scheme
|
||||
from the prevailing CDE/KDE/GNOME/Windows window manager scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
The WmDefault package is for making Tk/Tkinter applications use the
|
||||
prevailing CDE/KDE/GNOME/Windows scheme. It tries to find the files
|
||||
and/or settings that the current window manager is using, and then
|
||||
sets the Tk options database accordingly (plus a few other things as well).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DOWNLOAD
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Download the latest version of wm_default from http://tix.sourceforge.net
|
||||
either as a part of the standard Tix distribution, or as a part of the
|
||||
Tix Applications: http://tix.sourceforge.net/Tide. wm_default does not
|
||||
require Tix, but is Tix enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
USAGE:
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
For Tix versions 8.1.2 and above from http://tix.sourceforge.net,
|
||||
WmDefault is the default Tix scheme, so there is nothing else to do.
|
||||
|
||||
For Tk applications, it should be sufficent at the beginning of a wish
|
||||
app to simply:
|
||||
|
||||
package require wm_default
|
||||
wm_default::setup
|
||||
wm_default::addoptions
|
||||
|
||||
The process is divided into 2 steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1) find the files and/or settings (::wm_default::setup).
|
||||
This is complete for Windows, pretty good for KDE and CDE, and
|
||||
still barely supported for GNOME because of the difficulty
|
||||
of finding and parsing sawfish definition files.
|
||||
setup takes one optional argument: wm, the name of the window manager
|
||||
as a string, if known. One of: windows gnome kde1 kde2 cde.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Setting the Tk options database (::wm_default::addoptions).
|
||||
You can override the settings in 1) by adding your values to the call
|
||||
to addoptions:
|
||||
::wm_default::addoptions -foreground red -background blue
|
||||
|
||||
You can examine the settings with
|
||||
::wm_default::getoptions
|
||||
which returns a Tcl array of the current settings, and
|
||||
::wm_default::parray
|
||||
which returns a string of the current settings, one value-pair per line.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of assumptions built into the heuristics of addoptions,
|
||||
that may need fine tuning. Post patches to http://tix.sourceforge.net.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PYTHON
|
||||
______
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Tix versions 8.1.2 and above from http://tix.sourceforge.net
|
||||
with Python 2.1 and above, WmDefault is the default Tix scheme,
|
||||
so there is nothing else you need to do.
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to install WmDefault for Tkinter is to copy the WmDefault.*
|
||||
AND THE FILE pkgIndex.tcl from lib/tix8.1/pref to a directory on your
|
||||
PYTHONPATH. Then the following should work:
|
||||
|
||||
import Tkinter
|
||||
root = Tkinter.Tk()
|
||||
import WmDefault
|
||||
WmDefault.setup(root)
|
||||
WmDefault.addoptions(root, {'foreground': 'red'})
|
||||
print WmDefault.getoptions(root)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SETTINGS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of all the settings controlled by WmDefault:
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
TO MAKE A PREVIOUS TIX USE THIS AS THE DEFAULT SCHEME:
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1) Compile Tix with
|
||||
-DTIX_DEF_SCHEME "WmDefault"
|
||||
-DTIX_DEF_FONTSET "WmDefault"
|
||||
or change the defines in generic/tixInit.c
|
||||
|
||||
#define TIX_DEF_SCHEME "WmDefault"
|
||||
#define TIX_DEF_FONTSET "WmDefault"
|
||||
|
||||
2) Edit the installed lib/8.1/Tix.tcl and change the -configspec
|
||||
in tixClass tixAppContext with the following
|
||||
{-fontset WmDefault}
|
||||
{-scheme WmDefault}
|
||||
|
||||
3) Copy the files WmDefault.* AND pkgIndex.tcl to the installed
|
||||
lib/tix8.1/pref
|
||||
|
||||
4) Make or edit the file lib/tix8.1/pkgIndex.tcl and add the lines
|
||||
|
||||
package ifneeded wm_default 1.0 \
|
||||
[list source [file join $dir pref WmDefault.tcl]]
