Background Color - Tk Checkbutton

[Bintuch]

I'm using Tk Checkbutton widget. I'm facing a small (but irritating) problem.

Whenever I hover with the Mouse over the Checkbutton, the background of the box is changing and I can't find a way to change it without changing the background of the entire widget.

I want that the background of the widget will be always gray and the box itself to be always white.

Can you help??

Use -activebackground and -activeforeground:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow -> new;
my $ck = $mw -> Checkbutton(
    -activebackground => 'gray',
    -activeforeground => 'black',
    -background => 'gray',
    -foreground => 'black',
    -text => 'Tic me',
)->pack;

MainLoop;

It doesn't work.

The background of the widget is always gray but the box itself changes from white to gray upon mouse hover.

Show some code. I know what I mean. Why don't you? ;-)

I had the same problem. Use the normal state instead of the active state.

$your_checkbox -> configure(-state => 'normal');
