introduced in Tk 8.5. It provides additional benefits including anti-aliased font
rendering under X11 and window transparency (requiring a composition
window manager on X11).</p>
<p>The basic idea for <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter.ttk" title="tkinter.ttk: Tk themed widget set"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter.ttk</span></code></a> is to separate, to the extent possible,

appearance.</p>

<h2>Using Ttk<a class="headerlink" href="#using-ttk" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>To start using Ttk, import its module:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">tkinter</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">ttk</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To override the basic Tk widgets, the import should follow the Tk import:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">tkinter</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="o">*</span>
<span class="kn">from</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nn">tkinter.ttk</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="o">*</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>That code causes several <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter.ttk" title="tkinter.ttk: Tk themed widget set"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tkinter.ttk</span></code></a> widgets (<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Button</span></code>,
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Checkbutton</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Entry</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Frame</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Label</span></code>,

automatically replace the Tk widgets.</p>
<p>This has the direct benefit of using the new widgets which gives a better
look and feel across platforms; however, the replacement widgets are not
completely compatible. The main difference is that widget options such as
“fg”, “bg” and others related to widget styling are no
longer present in Ttk widgets. Instead, use the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ttk.Style</span></code> class
for improved styling effects.</p>

<h2>Ttk Widgets<a class="headerlink" href="#ttk-widgets" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Ttk comes with 18 widgets, twelve of which already existed in tkinter:
<code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Button</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Checkbutton</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Entry</span></code>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Frame</span></code>,

The other six are new: <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.ttk.Combobox" title="tkinter.ttk.Combobox"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Combobox</span></code></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#tkinter.ttk.Notebook" title="tkinter.ttk.Notebook"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Notebook</span></code></a>,

<p>Using the Ttk widgets gives the application an improved look and feel.
