"Ohhh! Shiny!" It provides many custom-drawn wxPython controls: some of them can be used as a replacement of the platform native controls, others are simply an addition to the already rich wxPython widgets set.

Description:

MCOW contains many different modules and mixins, listed below.

  • ShapedBitmapButton: this class fills the lack of "custom shaped" controls in wxPython. It can be used to build round or custom-shaped buttons from images with alpha(PNG). It is a special Ultra-Useful-All-In-One control, capable of producing professional looking graphical custom buttons/windows/etc very easily.;
  • SmartHighlighting: a mixin for the StyledTextCtrl that provides quick highlighting effects for text.;
  • ThreeWaySplitter: this is a layout manager which manages three children similar to Andrea Gavana's AGW FourWaySplitter. ThreeWaySplitters(generally) are quite more often needed/used than FourWaySplitters. Modifications/Additions by me on top of Andrea's FourWaySplitter Code.;
  • Picture: is a scalable picture window like ones often used in image viewer applications. It provides Overscaling and Downscaling toggleable options. Background Color is customizable and can be a tiled texture if desired.;
  • Animation: Basic animation functions for windows.;
  • ColorMixer: If you need a colormixer this is for you.;
  • RearrangeList: A control that remembers how you rearranged it, with checkboxes yep.;
  • coloring: If you like picking colors, or painting, or need a (simple)complex, but yet easy color/coloring widget, this may be for you.;
  • Guaranteed to be mostly free of foul evil whitespace demons.;

Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D

See the demos for an example of what MCOW can do, and on how to use it.
