QOTW: "This is an example of what's probably the
biggest difference
between the core widgets and Tile: instead of directly
changing options
when an event is received, or having multiple options for
state-specific
variants (like -disabledforeground, -activebackground, etc.,
...), in
Tile most options are -- or at least can be -- a function of
the widget
state. Event bindings usually just change the state, and
leaves the rest
up to the theme engine and [ttk::style map]." - Joe

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his weekly summary of Wiki
action:
Many pages have been updated, a few have been added and
a small number makes it to this summary ... As there
are few hours left of this year, let us not waste time!
In the beginning ...
- What, you should ask yourself, is a beginner?
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/17306
> tries to answer that question.
- If you are a German-speaking beginner (of any variety)
do check out: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/14827
>
Nice programs
- Instant messaging via MSN, a well-known Internet
activity ...
and this program allows you to do it via Tcl:

- One of many file managers, but still worth a look:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/14561
>
- How about some data analysis? This time of year
(especially
in the northern hemisphere) is perfect for that
pastime.
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/2410&g
t; describes a venerable tool for that.
- And last but not least, a drawing program: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/7937&g
t;
Handy tools
- Some word processors allow you to complete words based
on the
first few characters. Well, here is an add-on for the
text
widget to do the same: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/20491

- Want to create a game? Consider using the "brick
engine"
