Hi all. I just downloaded and installed the new Office suite from MS with their new 'ribbon' based UI. I think it's pretty cool and AFT* for a new UI paradigm. I hope it sticks.
Anyway, I'm wondering how to implement a gui like this with Python. I don't think wx or qt or gtk or tkinter support this sort of fading and glowing type of effects... or do they? I played with wx way back in 2000 or so (C++ version), and it certainly didn't have any of that. I don't know if this stuff is now built into XP, or if it's specialized libraries only accessible to MS for their purposes. Can a python gui framework be redirected to use the new gui? Or is this something that has to be manually emulated from a low-level if python is to make use of it? What about under linux? So I'm not sure if this is a Python question, a xxx-Python question (where xxx is the widget toolkit of choice), or a windows API type of question. How does one make fancy fading guis with python? (cross-platform if possible) thanks ms *AFT = about freakin' time -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
