G'day Rolf,

"I think I asked this before, but I can't find it in the archive and the situation might have changed in the meantime."

You're possibly thinking of "Verbose Tk Code".

I installed Tk with Perl v5.36 in May. There were no "styles and themes"; my response, particularly in regards to the option database, remains current and valid.

I haven't used Tkx in some years. As far as I'm aware, it still uses "styles and themes". I stopped using it due its poor Unicode support (which it gets directly from Tcl, not Perl): that may have changed or may not matter to you.

I haven't used Tcl::Tk so I can't comment on that one.
