Tk-CanvasDirTree version 0.04 ============================= zentara - The Distribution Maintainer INCLUDED WIDGETS: Tk::CanvasDirTree - a directory browser based on a Derived Tk::Canvas ADDITIONAL SCRIPTS: z-lighten - an Imager based script to make "lightened" images for backgrounds used with dark font fills z-charcoal - an ImageMagick based script to make an artistic charcoal drawing for backgrounds. DESCRIPTION: This widget reads a directory tree, in an efficient manner, and provides an intuitive graphical interface to selecting them. It only recurses 2 levels at a time, so it is efficient on deeply nested trees. It is similar in appearance to the Gtk2 TreeView. Colors and fonts are configurable, as well as a background image (with configurable location placement). Due to the wide variety of possible color schemes, creating a pleasing background image is left to you. See the perldoc for suggestions.
