Each widget is assigned a style, which specifies the set of
elements making up the widget and how they are arranged, along with
dynamic and default settings for element options. By default, the
style name is the same as the widget's class; this may be
overridden by the -style option.
A theme is a collection of elements and styles which
controls the overall look and feel of an application.
The ttk::style command takes the following arguments:
- ttk::style configure style
?-option ?value option value...? ?
- Sets the default value of the specified option(s) in
style.
- ttk::style map style ?-option
{ statespec value... }?
- Sets dynamic values of the specified option(s) in style.
Each statespec / value pair is examined in order; the value
corresponding to the first matching statespec is used.
- ttk::style lookup style
-option ?state ?default??
- Returns the value specified for -option in style
style in state state, using the standard lookup rules
for element options. state is a list of state names; if
omitted, it defaults to all bits off (the “normal”
state). If the default argument is present, it is used as a
fallback value in case no specification for -option is
found.
- ttk::style layout style
?layoutSpec?
- Define the widget layout for style style. See
LAYOUTS below for the format of layoutSpec. If
layoutSpec is omitted, return the layout specification for
style style.
- ttk::style element create
elementName type ?args...?
- Creates a new element in the current theme of type type.
The only built-in element type is image (see
ttk_image(n)), although themes may define other element
types (see Ttk_RegisterElementFactory).
- ttk::style element names
- Returns the list of elements defined in the current theme.
- ttk::style element options
element
- Returns the list of element's options.
- ttk::style theme create themeName
?-parent basedon? ?-settings script...
?
- Creates a new theme. It is an error if themeName already
exists. If -parent is specified, the new theme will inherit
styles, elements, and layouts from the parent theme basedon.
If -settings is present, script is evaluated in the
context of the new theme as per ttk::style theme
settings.
- ttk::style theme settings themeName
script
- Temporarily sets the current theme to themeName,
evaluate script, then restore the previous theme. Typically
script simply defines styles and elements, though arbitrary
Tcl code may appear.
- ttk::style theme names
- Returns a list of all known themes.
- ttk::style theme use
themeName
- Sets the current theme to themeName, and refreshes all
widgets.
A layout specifies a list of elements, each followed by one
or more options specifying how to arrange the element. The layout
mechanism uses a simplified version of the pack geometry manager: given an initial
cavity, each element is allocated a parcel. Valid options are:
- -side side
- Specifies which side of the cavity to place the element; one of
left, right, top, or bottom. If
omitted, the element occupies the entire cavity.
- -sticky
[nswe]
- Specifies where the element is placed inside its allocated
parcel.
- -children { sublayout...
}
- Specifies a list of elements to place inside the element.
For example:
ttk::style layout Horizontal.TScrollbar {
Scrollbar.trough -children {
Scrollbar.leftarrow -side left
Scrollbar.rightarrow -side right
Horizontal.Scrollbar.thumb -side left -sticky ew
}
}
