18 Each widget is assigned a style, which specifies the set of elements
19 making up the widget and how they are arranged, along with dynamic and
20 default settings for element resources. By default, the style name is
21 the same as the widget's class; this may be overridden by the -style
22 option.
23 A theme is a collection of elements and styles which controls the over‐
25 all look and feel of an application.

28 The style command takes the following arguments:
29 style configure style ?-option ?value option value...? ?
31 Sets the default value of the specified option(s) in style.
32 style map style ?-option { statespec value } ... ?
34 Sets dynamic values of the specified option(s) in style. Each
35 statespec / value pair is examined in order; the value corre‐
36 sponding to the first matching statespec is used.
37 style lookup style -option ?state ?default??
39 Returns the value specified for -option in style style in state
40 state, using the standard lookup rules for element options.
41 state is a list of state names; if omitted, it defaults to all
42 bits off (the ``normal'' state). If the default argument is
43 present, it is used as a fallback value in case no specification
44 for -option is found.
45 style layout style ?layoutSpec?
47 Define the widget layout for style style. See "LAYOUTS" below
48 for the format of layoutSpec. If layoutSpec is omitted, return
49 the layout specification for style style.
50 style element create elementName type ?args...?
52 Creates a new element in the current theme of type type. The
53 only built-in element type is image (see image(n)), although
54 themes may define other element types (see Ttk_RegisterElement‐
55 Factory).
56 style element names
58 Returns the list of elements defined in the current theme.
59 style element options element
61 Returns the list of element's options.
62 style theme create themeName ?-parent basedon? ?-settings script... ?
64 Creates a new theme. It is an error if themeName already
65 exists. If -parent is specified, the new theme will inherit
66 styles, elements, and layouts from the parent theme basedon. If
67 -settings is present, script is evaluated in the context of the
68 new theme as per style theme settings.
69 style theme settings themeName script
71 Temporarily sets the current theme to themeName, evaluate
72 script, then restore the previous theme. Typically script sim‐
73 ply defines styles and elements, though arbitrary Tcl code may
74 appear.
75 style theme names
77 Returns a list of the available themes.
78 style theme use themeName
80 Sets the current theme to themeName, and refreshes all widgets.
81
84 A layout specifies a list of elements, each followed by one or more
85 options specifying how to arrange the element. The layout mechanism
86 uses a simplified version of the pack geometry manager: given an ini‐
87 tial cavity, each element is allocated a parcel. Valid options are:
88 -side side
90 Specifies which side of the cavity to place the element; one of
91 left, right, top, or bottom. If omitted, the element occupies
92 the entire cavity.
93 -sticky [nswe]
95 Specifies where the element is placed inside its allocated par‐
96 cel.
97 -children { sublayout... }
99 Specifies a list of elements to place inside the element.
100 For example: style layout Horizontal.TScrollbar {
102 Scrollbar.trough -children {
103 Scrollbar.leftarrow -side left
104 Scrollbar.rightarrow -side right
105 Horizontal.Scrollbar.thumb -side left -sticky ew
106 } }
