.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 24 |
|
|
.PP
|
| 25 |
|
|
The \fBtk_setPalette\fR procedure changes the color scheme for Tk.
|
| 26 |
|
|
It does this by modifying the colors of existing widgets and by changing
|
| 27 |
|
|
the option database so that future widgets will use the new color scheme.
|
| 28 |
|
|
If \fBtk_setPalette\fR is invoked with a single argument, the
|
| 29 |
|
|
argument is the name of a color to use as the normal background
|
| 30 |
|
|
color; \fBtk_setPalette\fR will compute a complete color palette
|
| 31 |
|
|
from this background color.
|
| 32 |
|
|
Alternatively, the arguments to \fBtk_setPalette\fR may consist of any number
|
| 33 |
|
|
of \fIname\fR\-\fIvalue\fR pairs, where the first argument of the pair
|
| 34 |
|
|
is the name of an option in the Tk option database and the second
|
| 35 |
|
|
argument is the new value to use for that option. The following
|
| 36 |
|
|
database names are currently supported:
|
| 37 |
|
|
.DS L
|
| 38 |
|
|
.ta 4c 8c

| 39 |

|

|
| 41 |
|
|

|
|

|
| 44 |
|
|
\fBtk_setPalette\fR tries to compute reasonable defaults for any
|
| 45 |
|
|
options that you don't specify. You can specify options other
|
| 46 |
|
|
than the above ones and Tk will change those options on widgets as
|
| 47 |
|
|
well. This feature may be useful if you are using custom widgets with
|
| 48 |
|
|
additional color options.
|
| 49 |
|
|
.PP
|
| 50 |
|
|
Once it has computed the new value to use for each of the color options,
|
| 51 |
|
|
\fBtk_setPalette\fR scans the widget hierarchy to modify the options
|
| 52 |
|
|
of all existing widgets. For each widget, it checks to see if any
|
| 53 |
|
|
of the above options is defined for the widget. If so, and if the
|
| 54 |
|
|
option's current value is the default, then the value is changed; if
|
| 55 |
|
|
the option has a value other than the default, \fBtk_setPalette\fR
|
| 56 |
|
|
will not change it. The default for an option is the one provided by
|
| 57 |
|
|
the widget (\fB[lindex [$w configure $option] 3]\fR) unless
|
| 58 |
|
|
\fBtk_setPalette\fR has been run previously, in which case it is the
|
| 59 |
|
|
value specified in the previous invocation of \fBtk_setPalette\fR.
|
| 60 |
|
|
.PP
|
| 61 |
|
|
After modifying all the widgets in the application, \fBtk_setPalette\fR
|
| 62 |
|
|
adds options to the option database to change the defaults for
|
| 63 |
|
|
widgets created in the future. The new options are added at
|
| 64 |
|
|
priority \fBwidgetDefault\fR, so they will be overridden by options
|
| 65 |
|
|
from the .Xdefaults file or options specified on the command-line
|
| 66 |
|
|
that creates a widget.
|
| 67 |

|
The procedure \fBtk_bisque\fR is provided for backward compatibility:
|
| 69 |
|
|
it restores the application's colors to the light brown (``bisque'')
|
| 70 |
|
|
color scheme used in Tk 3.6 and earlier versions.
