Can i set a theme for tkinter Listbox #73

Listbox is not a themed widget, so it looks ugly in all my apps. Is there any way to change its theme?

You are correct in noting that the tk.Listbox is not a themed widget, as it is not part of the ttk widget set. Therefore, you cannot theme it. You may be able to change its default colours to match the applied theme, but that's where the options end.

I'd recommend changing from the Listbox to the Treeview widget. It is more versatile but can also be used where the Listbox is used. It may require a few more lines of code to configure, but it's not a difficult widget to use.
