A minor problem with the (tcltk) interface

[Lincoln Peters <peters2000 at mindspring dot com>]

I have found that if a unit is both able to store lots of different
kinds of materials (usually at least 7) and is able to tool up to build
lots of different kinds of units, under the tcltk interface, the
materials take up the entire lower-right section of the "Details about
the current unit" frame and it is impossible to see the tooling
information!  This does not seem to occur on the Mac, as the Mac does
not display any toolup information

How difficult would it be to re-write that part of the interface to use
a more concise, graphical readout of tooling and material storage?  The
best solution I can think of for the material read-out would be to use
small progress bars next to the images representing the materials in
question (or text if no image is associated with the materials.  For the
tooling readout, I think the most concise readout would be a row of
icons representing units that the selected unit is tooled to build,
using opacity to represent partial tooling.  In both cases, the exact
numbers should still be available via tooltips.

I'm (still) not familiar with tcltk, so I don't know how difficult this
would be.  Any comments?  Can anyone visualize what I'm describing?
