Re: Re: [Tile-dev] Default look vs custom-made look

[Sori S. <sx...@ya...>]

Didn't realised that Tile is a replacement for Tk, but
now is clear. I need one more piece of advice though:
I am comming from Python, and am trying to manipulate
the widgets with Python syntax, and, maybe, a few Tk
calls.
For instance:

from Tkinter import *
r=Tk()
bt=Button(r,text='Something') # that's a Tk button
# here is the proof:
bt.keys()
['activebackground', 'activeforeground', 'anchor',
'background', 'bd', 'bg', 'bitmap', 'borderwidth',
'command', 'compound', 'cursor', 'default',
'disabledforeground', 'fg', 'font', 'foreground',
'height', 'highlightbackground', 'highlightcolor',
'highlightthickness', 'image', 'justify',
'overrelief', 'padx', 'pady', 'relief', 'repeatdelay',
'repeatinterval', 'state', 'takefocus', 'text',
'textvariable', 'underline', 'width', 'wraplength']
# loading the Tile environment:
r.tk.call('package','require','tile')
r.tk.call('namespace','import','-force','ttk::*')
r.tk.call('tile::setTheme','blue')
bt2=Button(r,text='Something blue') # that's a Tile
button
# here is the proof:
bt2.keys()
['activebackground', 'activeforeground', 'anchor',
'background', 'bd', 'bg', 'bitmap', 'borderwidth',
'disabledforeground', 'fg', 'font', 'foreground',
'height', 'highlightbackground', 'highlightcolor',
'highlightthickness', 'justify', 'overrelief', 'padx',
'pady', 'relief', 'repeatdelay', 'repeatinterval',
'wraplength', 'takefocus', 'command', 'default',
'text', 'textvariable', 'underline', 'width', 'image',
'compound', 'padding', 'state', 'takefocus', 'cursor',
'style', 'class']
# bt2 has style and class ;-) and padding

# let's manipulate the look of bt2:
bt2.grid() # place it on the screen
bt2.tk.call('style','map','-background {active
#0000ff}') # to make it green

Nothing happens on the screen. Any hint how should I
proceed?

Thanks agains,
