Change color of “tab header” in ttk.Notebook

by

You can try creating a custom theme.

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()

mygreen = "#d2ffd2"
myred = "#dd0202"

style = ttk.Style()

style.theme_create( "yummy", parent="alt", settings={
        "TNotebook": {"configure": {"tabmargins": [2, 5, 2, 0] } },
        "TNotebook.Tab": {
            "configure": {"padding": [5, 1], "background": mygreen },
            "map":       {"background": [("selected", myred)],
                          "expand": [("selected", [1, 1, 1, 0])] } } } )

style.theme_use("yummy")

note = ttk.Notebook(root)
f1 = ttk.Frame(note, width=300, height=200)
note.add(f1, text="First")
f2 = ttk.Frame(note, width=300, height=200)
note.add(f2, text="Second")
note.pack(expand=1, fill="both", padx=5, pady=5)

tk.Button(root, text="yummy!").pack(fill="x")

root.mainloop()

EDIT

The most detailed ttk documentation is from the tcl/tk world

eg.

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/ttk_notebook.htm

For some useful python-based examples, you can grab the pyttk-samples package
from http://code.google.com/p/python-ttk/
