I'm using Tk 8.5.0.0 beta 3 in ActiveTcl on Linux (Mandrake
10.0), and I find that the -selectcolor option remains "on" even
when a checkbutton or radiobutton is "off." When the -foreground
and -selectcolor are both fairly dark colors, the little check or dot
in the indicator is hard to see. I can fix this by setting
-selectcolor to a light color when -foreground is dark, or vice
versa, but this isn't how it's supposed to work according to the
Tk 8.5 documentation. Of course, maybe only the
*documentation* needs to be changed, to say that "selectcolor"
now means the background color of the indicator, which displays
a check in the foreground color when the checkbutton is on?

I got the following info from Brian Griffin:
Yes, the documentation needs to change. The check or dot
mark is drawn in the foreground color and the -selectcolor
is the background around the indicator.

Fixed in 8.5a4 in docs.
