Yahoo! That was it. When is Grayson coming out with a new version of "Python and Tkinter Programming"? Mine is getting pretty full of pen & ink changes. :)
Nice tip, too! Thanks! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I think you have to spell it Root.option_add("*Entry*highlightThickness", "2") Root.option_add("*Entry*highlightColor", "green") When you're not sure of the capitalization, do something like this interactively: >>> e.configure('highlightcolor') ('highlightcolor', 'highlightColor', 'HighlightColor', 'SystemWindowFrame', 'green') When you use 'configure' this way, the *second* string has the correct capitalization for use in option_add. The fourth is the system default before taking into account the option database, and the last is the current value. Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
