Happens on Python 2.7.2 (default, Jul 18 2011, 14:33:20) [GCC 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)] on linux2 TclVersion 8.5 TkVersion 8.5 with the program running on the above and the output being X'ed to an OSX Mountain Lion iMac.
I just have to mouse over the ttk button and it changes (even if, for example, Mail.app has the display focus). When I mouse over the buttons they get slightly lighter color while the cursor is on them (the 'activebackground' color?) Same with Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin >>> import Tkinter >>> Tkinter.TclVersion 8.5 >>> Tkinter.TkVersion 8.5 on my iMac. Just running the mouse cursor over the button makes it change. No activebackground color change on Mac.
