There are certain options for Tkinter widgets that have default values
that I don't much care for (borderwidth, font come to mind) and
continuously change when I'm building interfaces. With a bit of
tweaking I have been able to give the widgets a look that rivals the
best of them. However, I get tired of doing this when I'm writing code
and would like a way that I could universally change them on my system.
I have tried to find where in the class files (Tkinter.py) that I can
change these and haven't been able to find them. Are there certain
lines in certain files/modules/classes that I can change the values for
these things like font, border, etc.?
tk allows to write your preffered options to an option file and to load it
via the method option_readfile in your application.
For an example on how the options can be set, see:
http://mini.net/tcl/10424
The file should contain the arguments passed to option add commands.
For a reference on what options are available and how to specify them in an
option file, see the tk manual pages here:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/contents.htm
The name for the widget is usually the name of the corresponding Tkinter class; the name
for the option is the second name found in the standard and widget-specific options
sections in the man pages (named Database name in the section text). So for
example, if you want to set the default select color for checkbuttons, you'll put in your
option file a line:
*Checkbutton.selectColor: blue
