That seems not a bad idea.

I am thinking about using tinter. There are some elements like dialog
boxes etc. already done as classes. I could inherit from them and create
some additional classes like for ordinary windows and so on.
I think that would do it quite well.
Possibly that is easier than to write everything by myself.
