Hi All:

I'm trying to configure background and foreground color for a frame
and I get error
"unknown option -background"

$l1Sub1 = $mw->new_ttk__frame(-padding => "2 2 2 2");
$l1Sub1->configure(-height => 600, -width => 200);
$l1Sub1->configure(-background => "#F9B7FF");

This code fails to work.
I'm using active perl 5.10.

Please help me if I'm missing anything.

Regards,
Prathap

The -foreground makes no sense in a frame, and if you want a frame
with a
-background then you want to use new_frame, the classic Tk frame
rather than
the themed version (new_ttk__frame). The themed version is designed
to be
controlled by theme styles, defaulting to the native drawing engine of
the
platform. You can customize them on a per-instance basis (or per-
group with
-style), but in this case if you want a solid background then just use
new_frame instead.
