Michael, Ah, I see! The trick seems to be:
- don't set a frame's border width or relief properties (or reset them to 0 and 'flat') - set highlightcolor=<bordercolor> - set highlightbackground=<bordercolor> - set highlightthickness=<borderwidth> I think that also answers the question I just posted regarding how to create the appearance of colored frame borders. Thank you (one answer for 2 questions!)
