Petro,
I am not aware of any recent work. I can only say, that Tk 9 has visual 
improvements and scalability of all items.
Any solution without Tk9 compatibility is IMHO not future proof.

BWidget is not a candidate. It is not ttk and Tk 9 is a work in progress.

apave looks great.

Thanks for all,
Harald
