AC3D Forums - View Single Post - Adding code to pluggins so it will use AC3D color sceme

AC3D uses Tcl/Tk for its UI. AC3D 8 uses ttk widgets. Some of these are customized for AC3D so rather than using the old widgets. AC3D uses ac_ before the normal widget names to get the new widgets. e.g. for 'entry', or ttk:entry', use 'ac_entry' instead - then you'll get all the AC3D custom cols/font.

In the plugins folder, you'll see .tcl files. You can look in these with a text editor and modify them. There's lots of info online for Tcl/Tk.

For layout, look for pack and grid commands.
