Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

"The configure and cget subcommands can still manipulate the values, but do not 
cause any variation to the look of the widget." is wrong.  Setting the 
foreground color *does* change the unpressed foreground color, so that 'white' 
becomes 'white on white'.  I consider not being more explicit about which 
options are or or not fixed, or at least not warning about foreground, to be a 
doc buglet.  What a trap for someone trying to make a cross-platform dark 
theme.  But their docs are theirs.

And our docs are ours.  We can't change external tk or ttk docs, but how about 
adding the following to the our ttk doc, just above 'Combobox'?

Button

On macOS, the pressed colors are fixed as white on blue.  The background is 
otherwise fixed as white.  So an attempt at white on dark results in white on 
white.
