# Ttk style mapping for invalid entry widgets
style map TEntry -fieldbackground {invalid \#FFFFE0} \
    -foreground {invalid \#FF0000}
style map TCombobox -fieldbackground {invalid \#FFFFE0} \
    -foreground {invalid \#FF0000}

The background won't change on most platforms, but the foreground should on
all.  The invalid state is handled by the entry widget on failed or valid
validation command.
