A pauta sobre easter eggs da #SegundaFicha cobre apenas jogos? Como um usuário #Linux da velha guarda, gostaria de resgatar o easter egg das antigas versões do Red Hat (incluindo o #Conectiva Red Hat Linux), que exibiam um chapéu giratório se uma determinada região do `timetool` (aplicativo para ajuste de data e hora) era clicada. Não achei captura de tela, então, precisei eu mesmo fazer uma (emulador PCem, distribuição Conectiva Red Hat Linux Marumbi).

Tcl/Tk 9.0 Release Announcement - tcl-lang.org/software/tcltk/9.
The first major release in 27 years. 64-bit internal structures, so data can be huge. Full unicode with all the funky new emojis. Zip filesystems, etc., etc.

There's lots of new stuff, and some old cruft has been dumped, so some programs may need a few updates, but there's still a high level of compatibility. The page above links to release notes with details of what's in and what's out.

What's the best logo for Tcl/Tk 9.0, which will be released soon? Please select one, or suggest a better option as a followup. Polls don't allow images, so the images are in the post which this is a followup to.

@konstantin Others have recommended Tk - tkdocs.com/ - personally I would use Tcl/Tk directly, not via Python. It's still being developed but backward compatibility is taken very seriously so 20-year-old programs still work fine or with minor adjustments.

Tcl/Tk runs natively on windows, macos, linux and most other unix varieties and there is an android port. For web delivery, take a look at CloudTk - you can see some examples at wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Showcas .
