How to use the "native" GUI look with Tkinter?

Question

By default Tkinter still uses the old Windows 2000-style widgets (random example):

but I want it to use the Windows XP/Vista/7-style widgets instead:

How can I do this? I would prefer to use the latest style version, so Windows 7 > Vista > XP > 2000.

Answer 1

On Windows, use tkinter.ttk to get the the themed version of Tk.

Answer 2

The ttk themed widgets are what you are looking for. Be sure to use the 'vista' theme to get native appearance on Vista/Win7.
