I am pleased to announce version 1.4.1 of the toggle switch widget 
package Tsw.

What is new in Tsw 1.4.1?
-------------------------

1. Fixed a bug related to changing the theme (thanks to Bo Berggren for
    his bug report).

How to get it?
--------------

Tsw is available for free download from the Web page

     https://www.nemethi.de

The distribution file is "tsw1.4.1.tar.gz" for UNIX and "tsw1_4_1.zip"
for Windows.  These files contain the same information, except for the
additional carriage return character preceding the linefeed at the end
of each line in the text files for Windows.

Tsw is also included in tklib, which has the address

     https://core.tcl.tk/tklib

How to install it?
------------------

Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
by the "auto_path" variable.  For example, you can install it as a
subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation (at
the same level as the tk8.X or tk9.X subdirectory).

To install Tsw on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack the
distribution file "tsw1.4.1.tar.gz":

     gunzip -c tsw1.4.1.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

     tar -zxf tsw1.4.1.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "tsw1.4.1", with the
subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the
distribution file "tsw1_4_1.zip" into the directory "tsw1.4.1", with the
subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

How to use it?
--------------

To be able to access the commands and variables of the Tsw package, your
scripts must contain one of the lines

     package require tsw ?version?
     package require Tsw ?version?

Since the Tsw package is implemented in its own namespace called "tsw",
you must either invoke the

     namespace import tsw::toggleswitch

command to import the only public procedure of the tsw namespace, or use
the qualified name tsw::toggleswitch.  To access Tsw variables, you must
use qualified names.

For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by Tsw
and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see the tutorial
"tsw.html" and the reference page "toggleswitch.html", both located in
the "doc" directory.
