Version 12 of awdark ttk theme

awdark ttk theme

bll 2018-9-1: Just thought I would try and create a new theme. Loosely based on adwaita dark. I have learned more about ttk themeing, found issues in my application code related to colors and themes. Uses graphics for the checkbuttons, radiobuttons and the notebook tab top color. Everything else is based on the clam theme.

  • Focus box around notebook tabs is larger.
  • Focus box for checkbuttons and radiobuttons covers both the indicator and the text.
  • Includes helper routines to set the colors for menu, listbox and text.

On Mac OS X, to override the aqua styled scrollbars, use:

ttk::scrollbar .sb -style Vertical.TScrollbar
ttk::scrollbar .sb -style Horizontal.TScrollbar

The -style option must be present when the scrollbar is created, an aqua scrollbar cannot be reconfigured.

::ttk::theme::awdark::setMenuColors .menuwidget

Sets the menu colors and also changes any checkbutton and radiobutton types to use thematic images. Run this after adding all the menu items to the menu.

Side effect: The menu will have -hidemargin set to true.

If you don't want the thematic images, run it before adding your menu items (and set -hidemargin back to false).

::ttk::theme::awdark::setTextColors .textwidget ?-dark?

Sets the text widget colors. If -dark is specified, the darker background color (as for entry) will be used.

::ttk::theme::awdark::setListboxColors .listboxwidget

Sets the listbox widget colors.
