We can build interfaces looking like this:
This is the Forest ttk theme. "ttk"? Yes, for Tcl/Tk! A lightweight and cross-platform GUI toolkit (and language). It doesn't have to look outdated!
Install the nodgui library with Quicklisp, clone a theme, load it and use it:
(with-nodgui ()
(eval-tcl-file "ttkthemes/ttkthemes/png/yaru/yaru.tcl")
(use-theme "yaru")
that's all there is to it.
The ttkthemes work: https://ttkthemes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/themes.html (just like with Python's Tkinter).

By the way, the yaru theme is now shipped by default in Nodgui, we don't need the
eval-tcl-filestep, ony "use-theme".
