Default Adding code to pluggins so it will use AC3D color sceme

Hi all, I'm just curious about adding code or modding the plugins coding so that the windows will use the current AC3D color profile? I'm finding it very hard to read the necessary info when using them. Resizing/Restructing the Greeble window is also an issue I can't use it on my laptop due to not being able to access the button on a smaller screen. I'm sure someone out there must be experiencing the same, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Default Re: 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.
