  <h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

  <p>The commands described in this reference page should only be invoked when
  using the package Tablelist_tile.&nbsp; They enable you to set and query the
  current theme, to retrieve a list of the available themes, and to make sure
  that your widgets will have a theme-specific appearance.</p>

  <dl>
    <dt><b>NAME</b></dt>

    <dd><code>tablelist::setTheme</code> &ndash; Set the current theme</dd>

    <dt class="tm"><b>SYNOPSIS</b></dt>

    <dd>
      <pre>
<b>tablelist::setTheme</b> <i>theme</i>
</pre>
    </dd>

    <dt><b>DESCRIPTION</b></dt>

    <dd>This command sets the current theme to <code><i>theme</i></code>,
    loading it if necessary.&nbsp; It is simply an alias for
    <code><b>ttk::setTheme</b></code> or <code><b>tile::setTheme</b></code>,
    depending on the tile version loaded into the interpreter.&nbsp; (The
    <code><b>tile::setTheme</b></code> command was renamed to
    <code><b>ttk::setTheme</b></code> in tile version 0.8.)</dd>

    <dd class="tm">Being just an alias for a tile library procedure, the
    <code><b>tablelist::setTheme</b></code> command does exactly the same as
    the original one: It loads the package implementing the given theme if
    needed, sets the theme to the specified one, and saves the latter in the
    variable <code><b>ttk::currentTheme</b></code> or
    <code><b>tile::currentTheme</b></code>, depending on the current tile
    version.</dd>

    <dd>This command returns the name of the current theme by invoking
    the&nbsp; <code><b>ttk::style theme use</b></code>&nbsp; command.&nbsp; If
    an old tile version is being used which doesn't yet support this method
    then the command returns the value of the variable
    <code><b>ttk::currentTheme</b></code> or
    <code><b>tile::currentTheme</b></code>, depending on the tile
    version.&nbsp; (The namespace containing the variable
    <code><b>currentTheme</b></code> was changed in tile version 0.8 from
    <code><b>tile</b></code> to <code><b>ttk</b></code>.)</dd>

    or <code><b>tile::availableThemes</b></code>, depending on the tile version
    loaded into the interpreter.&nbsp; (The
    <code><b>tile::availableThemes</b></code> command was renamed to

  Command</h2>

    <dd><code>tablelist::setThemeDefaults</code> &ndash; Set theme-specific

    <dt class="tm"><b>SYNOPSIS</b></dt>

    <dd>
      <pre>
<b>tablelist::setThemeDefaults</b>
</pre>
    </dd>

    <dt><b>DESCRIPTION</b></dt>

    <dd>This command populates the array
    <code><b>tablelist::themeDefaults</b></code> with theme-specific default
    values of a series of Tablelist configuration options.&nbsp; The array
    names are the command-line names of the options, and the corresponding
    array values are the default values of these configuration options for the
    currently set tile theme.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">The options whose names and values are written into the
    array <code><b>tablelist::themeDefaults</b></code> are:
    <code><b>-arrowcolor</b></code>, <code><b>-arrowdisabledcolor</b></code>,
    <code><b>-arrowstyle</b></code>, <code><b>-background</b></code>,
    <code><b>-disabledforeground</b></code>, <code><b>-font</b></code>,
    <code><b>-foreground</b></code>, <code><b>-labelborderwidth</b></code>,
    <code><b>-labelfont</b></code>, <code><b>-labelforeground</b></code>,
    <code><b>-labelpady</b></code>, <code><b>-selectbackground</b></code>,
    <code><b>-selectborderwidth</b></code>,
    <code><b>-selectforeground</b></code>,
    <code><b>-stripebackground</b></code>, and
    <code><b>-treestyle</b></code>.&nbsp; In addition, the command sets some
    other array elements to theme-specific default values of the background and
    foreground colors of the column labels in <code><b>normal</b></code>,
    <code><b>disabled</b></code>, <code><b>active</b></code>, and
    <code><b>pressed</b></code> states.&nbsp; (Tablelist needs the label colors
    for handling sort arrows and images with transparent background in the
    column labels.)</dd>

    <dd class="tm">The <code><b>tablelist::setThemeDefaults</b></code> command
    is invoked by Tablelist_tile automatically at application start time and
    when the <code><b>&lt;&lt;ThemeChanged&gt;&gt;</b></code> virtual event is
    sent to the main window.&nbsp; It is also invoked on Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave)
    and later whenever the main window receives a
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;LightAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code> or
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;DarkAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code> virtual event, if the current
    theme is <code>aqua</code>.&nbsp; In these cases, after invoking the
    <code><b>tablelist::setThemeDefaults</b></code> command, Tablelist_tile
    sends the virtual event
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;TablelistThemeDefaultsChanged&gt;&gt;</b></code> to the
    main window and reconfigures all tablelist widgets of the application,
    using the new default values of those options that were not set explicitly
    to values different from the corresponding defaults.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">On Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave) and later, the virtual events
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;LightAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code> and
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;DarkAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code> are sent by Tk 8.6.10 and
    later to all toplevel widgets whenever the system appearance toggles
    between Light Mode and Dark Mode or the Accent Color in the General
    Preferences changes.&nbsp; Tk versions 8.6.11 and later send these events
    on Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) and later also when changing the Highlight Color
    in the General Preferences.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">Besides being used by Tablelist_tile, this command can also
    be invoked in application code, although with current Tablelist_tile
    versions there is no need for calling it explicitly.</dd>

    <dd class="tm">By using the default option values contained in the array
    <code><b>tablelist::themeDefaults</b></code>, you can make sure that
    classical Tk widgets, e.g., listbox and text, will have a theme-specific
    appearance, just like the tile widgets.&nbsp; For example, you can add some
    common configuration options to the option database as follows:</dd>

    <dd>
      <blockquote>
        <pre>
if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "x11"} {
    option add *selectBackground  $tablelist::themeDefaults(-selectbackground)
    option add *selectForeground  $tablelist::themeDefaults(-selectforeground)
}
option add *selectBorderWidth     $tablelist::themeDefaults(-selectborderwidth)
</pre>
      </blockquote>
    </dd>

    <dd>You can also make use of the virtual event
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;TablelistThemeDefaultsChanged&gt;&gt;</b></code> to update
    the appearance of your Tk widgets according to the new values contained in
    the array <code><b>tablelist::themeDefaults</b></code>, by binding to the
    dedicated binding tag <code><b>TablelistMain</b></code> associated with the
    main window:</dd>

    <dd>
      <blockquote>
        <pre>
bind TablelistMain &lt;&lt;TablelistThemeDefaultsChanged&gt;&gt; ...
</pre>
      </blockquote>
    </dd>

    <dd>The binding tag <code><b>TablelistMain</b></code> is assigned by
    Tablelist_tile to the main window and used internally for handling the
    virtual events <code><b>&lt;&lt;ThemeChanged&gt;&gt;</b></code>,
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;LightAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code>, and
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;DarkAqua&gt;&gt;</b></code>.&nbsp; As shown above,
    applications can make use of it, e.g., to handle the virtual event
    <code><b>&lt;&lt;TablelistThemeDefaultsChanged&gt;&gt;</b></code>.</dd>
