perltux has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using the Perl/TK 'BrowseEntry' widget and have set the '-borderwidth' parameter to '1'. Despite that the border of the pop-up pane, the scrollbar and the buttom all still have a 2 pixel border width.

See screenshot of my app here (the 'BrowseEntry' widget is on the upper right):

The '-borderwidth' parameter setting seems to only affect the Entry box, no other element of the 'BrowseEntry' widget.

How can I set the border width of all elements of the 'BrowseEntry' widget to '1'?

In fact is there a way to universally set the default border width to '1' for all widgets of the whole program?
