Thanks, that's a nice link.

The "file" in question is the base widget style sheet that all widgets
inherit from. If you program takes the time to set up a "better" set of
preferences that the ancient ones that come by default (I imagine for
backward compatability), then all subsequent widgete will have a family
look and behavior.

I imagine that this would be true in any scripting language (Python,
perl) that has adapted the Tk for its use, although some of the more
recent ones may have updated the defaults.

There are so many possible switches for widgets that even the
documentation rarely carries them all.
