In the "clam" theme, the ttk::entry widget has a blue halo when it has
the focus. The ttk::combobox,
however, doesn't. It seems like they ought to work the same way.
Anybody know how to make
the ttk::combobox get the same blue outline when it has focus?

Clam theme border appearance is controlled by three options:
-bordercolor for the outer part, and -lightcolor and -darkcolor
for the two shadow colors.

The Entry widget has (ref: library/clamTheme.tcl):

ttk::style map TEntry \
-bordercolor [list focus $colors(-selectbg)] \
-lightcolor [list focus "#6f9dc6"] \
-darkcolor [list focus "#6f9dc6"] \
;
# where $colors(-selectbg) = #4a6984.

You could apply something similar to TCombobox to get
the same effect.

(FWIW, doing it this way doesn't look quite right to me,
and IIRC the XFCE GTk+ theme on which "clam" was patterned
didn't do it that way either.)

Thanks, Joe.

After I sent this I did some nosing around, and ultimately did
"apply something similar". You're right, it doesn't look quite like
the TEntry does; but it's OK for my purposes.

Thanks!
