NAME

       tk_setPalette, tk_bisque - Modify the Tk color palette

SYNOPSIS

       tk_setPalette background

       tk_setPalette name value ?name value ...?

       tk_bisque
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  tk_setPalette procedure changes the color scheme for Tk.  It does this by modifying the colors of existing widgets and by changing the
       option database so that future widgets will use the new color scheme.  If tk_setPalette is invoked with a single argument, the argument	is
       the name of a color to use as the normal background color;  tk_setPalette will compute a complete color palette from this background color.
       Alternatively, the arguments to tk_setPalette may consist of any number of name-value pairs, where the first argument of the  pair  is  the
       name  of an option in the Tk option database and the second argument is the new value to use for that option.  The following database names
       are currently supported: activeBackground	       foregroundselectColor activeForeground		    highlightBackgroundselectBack-
       ground  background      highlightColor selectForeground	disabledForeground	       insertBackgroundtroughColor  tk_setPalette tries to
       compute reasonable defaults for any options that you do not specify.  You can specify options other than the above ones and Tk will  change
       those options on widgets as well.  This feature may be useful if you are using custom widgets with additional color options.

       Once  it has computed the new value to use for each of the color options, tk_setPalette scans the widget hierarchy to modify the options of
       all existing widgets.  For each widget, it checks to see if any of the above options is defined for the widget.	If so, and if the option's
       current	value  is the default, then the value is changed;  if the option has a value other than the default, tk_setPalette will not change
       it.  The default for an option is the one provided by the widget ([lindex [$w configure $option] 3]) unless tk_setPalette has been run pre-
       viously, in which case it is the value specified in the previous invocation of tk_setPalette.

       After  modifying  all  the widgets in the application, tk_setPalette adds options to the option database to change the defaults for widgets
       created in the future.  The new options are added at priority widgetDefault, so they will be overridden by options from the .Xdefaults file
       or options specified on the command-line that creates a widget.

       The  procedure  tk_bisque  is provided for backward compatibility: it restores the application's colors to the light brown ("bisque") color
       scheme used in Tk 3.6 and earlier versions.
