Which demos? Doesn't look like any the ones in the package.
(Please at least be specific when you imply that someone is publishing bad
code.)

Presumably "theme use" wants to be "theme", "use".
(Many moons ago, tcl() just pasted words together and executed the result as a
Tcl command via .Tcl. Looks like the author expected .Tcl("ttk::style theme use
winnative"), but nowadays it uses .Tcl.objv() which expects a vector of Tcl
words so there is a difference between two words and one word with a space in
the middle. The puzzling bit is that I'd have thunk Tcl 8.5 to be considerably
later than the change to tcl()?)
