I'm cross posting the following question from this thread on stackoverflow.com: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3991130/python-2-7-themed-comm on-dialog-tkinter-interfaces-via-ttk
Python 2.7 (32-bit) Windows: We're experimenting with Python 2.7's support for themed Tkinter (ttk) for simple GUI's and have come away very impressed!! The one area where the new theme support seems to have come up short is how OS specific common dialogs are wrapped. In other words, the MESSAGEBOX and COLORCHOOSER common dialogs have "ugly" looking Win 95 style blocky looking buttons vs. the themed (rounded/gradient) buttons that normally show up on these common dialogs under XP, Vista, and Windows 7. (I'm testing on all 3 platforms with identical, un-themed results). Note: The filedialog common dialogs (askopenfilename, askopenfilenames, asksaveasfilename, askdirectory) are all properly themed. import tkMessageBox as messagebox messagebox.showinfo() import tkColorChooser as colorchooser color = colorchooser.askcolor( parent=root, title='Customize colors' ) Any ideas on what's required to get Tkinter's MESSAGEBOX and COLORCHOOSER common dialogs to be OS theme compatible (at least under Windows XP or higher)? Note that Rafe Kettler just filed the following Bug Report on this: http://bugs.python.org/issue10171 Regards, Malcolm
