GUI Builder

GUI Builder is a next-generation SpecTcl alternative that is now available within the SpecTcl project. It was part of ActiveState's Komodo IDE, and was released into open source in November, 2006 (prior to Komodo 4.0 release). The sources are in the guib area of the subversion codebase.

Please see GUI Builder docs (from Komodo 3.5) to get an impression of GUI Builder. There is also a Tcl-focused tutorial that was oriented around the GUI Builder. It has the same advantages as SpecTcl with the addition of more modern support for Tk and improved look and feel. The current built-in Tk bindings supported are for Tcl/Tk, Perl/Tk, Perl/Tkx, Python/Tkinter and Ruby/Tk.

Ready-to-run single-file executables can be found here.
