nodgui supports loading custom ttk themes and ships the “yaru” theme from the ttkthemes collection.
To use a built-in theme other than the “default” one, do:
(with-nodgui (:theme "yaru")
(code here))
or use (setf *default-theme* "yaru")
.
You can see how they look with the demos:
CL-USER> (nodgui.demo:demo :theme "yaru")
You can load any .tcl file describing a theme:
(nodgui:eval-tcl-file "path/to/another/theme.tcl") (nodgui:use-theme "theme")
See also *themes-directory*
.
This currently doesn’t work with a few themes using SVG images, but it might be fixed with the release of an upcoming Tcl/Tk version.
