Change the look of the Tkinter scrollbar widget Python
ttk styles are the way to go.http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html
I use the plastik theme as a good reference, it is an image based theme.
You can then replace the images with your own.
to get the source and files:http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/ttk-gsoc/samples/plastik_theme.py
I just ran the 2to3 conversion tool and works great in python3
Assuming you move all the images to a relative path called /img you can do
import tkinter.ttk as ttkimport osimport plastikplastik.install((os.getcwd()+'/img/plastik'))scrollbar = ttk.Scrollbar(root)scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)listbox = Listbox(root)listbox.pack()for i in range(100): listbox.insert(END, i)listbox.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)scrollbar.config(command=listbox.yview)Note: You have to use the ttk.Scrollbar widget not the tkinter widget
