OK, I am using the ttk::treeview widget and I have managed to create and
display folders and files. I have been trying to change some of the
options like background color but it is not working. As matter of
fact, I see that frames don't even have the -bg option. Is that normal
with ttk frames? How do change things like background/foreground colors
and fonts? I tried substituting the ttk::frames with regular frames and
it did not work either.

With ttk a style/theme engine was introduced and setting background
and foreground options have been removed. So to use a different
background you would need to define a new style and set the background
color.
This has been done to manage styles consistenly in one application and
it has been bought with a higher learning curve.

I don't have completely understood how to manage a new style (always
try and error), altough there are some examples around the web.
Have a look here: http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html
