You can use styles. Here is an example:

w <- tktoplevel()
.Tcl(paste("ttk::style layout styled.entry {",
           "  Entry.field -sticky nswe -border 0 -children {",
           "    Entry.padding -sticky nswe -children {",
           "      Entry.textarea -sticky nswe",
           "      }",
           "   }",
           "}",
           sep="\n"))
tcl("ttk::style", "configure","styled.entry", background="#b2b2b2")

e <- ttkentry(w,  style="styled.entry")

tkpack(e)
