I see the difference here between Tk-Cocoa and 8.4/Carbon. Cocoa does
indeed ignore the -indicatoron flag. Not sure yet if this is a bug that
can be fixed or not, but I'll take a closer look at the underlying code.
Thank you.
After looking at the code that implements the checkbutton, it appears
that, internally, it is mapped to a specific Cocoa button style
(NSSwitchButton) that does not allow us to turn off the checkmark. I
suppose we'll have to add this to the list of Tk configuration flags
that are ignored in certain contexts when Mac-native widgets are used
(background, relief, etc.).
P.S. While we're on MacOS X bugs, here's another which I also reported
to the Tcl/Tk project: the width of tk_menubutton is wrong on MacOS X
(too narrow by several characters). Here's tcl code for that:
tk_optionMenu .om omVar DC1 DC2 DC3
.om configure -width 3 # -indicatoron 0
pack .om
I see the clipping here, but that can be avoided by adding -fill both
-expand yes to the config flags when the menu button is packed. This is
probably a function of how Cocoa handles metrics and it may not be
something that can be fixed, but I'll see what I can find.
I'm not sure I understand; you are talking about the way the menubutton
is packed inside the tk_optionMenu widget? Is this something I could
control in Tkinter?
om.pack(fill='both', expand='yes')
