What exactly does that mean? The Windows default UI changed significantly from W2K -> XP -> Win8, and each time, it's possible to revert to the old styling; does ttk follow the rest of the OS in that? And if so, does it achieve that by restricting you to a vicious subset of functionality that can actually be implemented natively, or does it try to reimplement as appropriate? ChrisA
