Hi all,
I'm looking for a reasonably modern alternative to Iwidgets:
- must NOT use snit or itcl
- ideally, written without any C code
- ideally, ttk-aware

Do you think that apave could be a decent candidate? 
https://aplsimple.github.io/en/tcl/pave/

Any other good candidates?
Thanks in advance,
Petro

Petro,
I am not aware of any recent work. I can only say, that Tk 9 has visual 
improvements and scalability of all items.
Any solution without Tk9 compatibility is IMHO not future proof.

BWidget is not a candidate. It is not ttk and Tk 9 is a work in progress.

apave looks great.

Thanks for all,
Harald

Thanks,
compatibility with Tk 9 doesn't matter for me, because we can't migrate 
from Tcl 8.6

Ok.
apave looks really recent.

If you are looking for a megawidget framework, you may also look to the 
work of René Zaumseil. See his ETCL talk in Vienna.

Take care,
