Questions tagged [ttk]

Ttk is the themed widget set for the Tk toolkit, previously known as Tile.

Ttk refers to the themed widgets, originally part of the Tile extension to Tk, which were integrated into Tk, starting with version 8.5.

Ttk aims to separate the code implementing a widget’s behavior from the code implementing its appearance. It includes 17 widgets that use the native look and feel across platforms. Some are very similar to widgets already existing in normal Tk, while others provide new functionality.
