Description:
I install tcl/tk8.4 in windows2000 and the colors for
background buttons, menus and windows are white! I try
all the samples. The same tcl/tk8.4 works fine in
windows98.
What can I do?

thanks
Marcelo Modolo

something else is going on here ... this seems to work for 
others (and myself).

This is not my experience with Windows 2000 not XP. As
Richard shows:
foreach i {SystemMenu SystemWindow SystemButtonFace} {puts
$i:[winfo rgb . $i]}
SystemMenu:59110 55512 44718
SystemWindow:65535 65535 65535
SystemButtonFace:59110 55512 44718

Possibly you have a HOME environment variable and a
%HOME%\.Xresources (or maybe .Xdefaults) file. Tk will read
such a file and use it to set up the Options database.

This is certainly something local to your system.

I think it's not a general problem of Windows 2000 - I have 
installed Tcl 8.4 several times, and the appearance always 
was the standard background colors. Maybe you have 
customized Windows settings?

Here's what I tested:

 2 % foreach i {SystemMenu SystemWindow 
SystemButtonFace} {puts $i:[winfo rgb . $i]}
SystemMenu:54484 53456 51400
SystemWindow:65535 65535 65535
SystemButtonFace:54484 53456 51400
