Like the Tkinter Frame widget, the ttk.Frame widget is a rectangular container for other
widgets. To create a Frame widget as the child
of a given parent
w= ttk.Frame(parent,option=value, ...)
Options include:
Table 42. ttk.Frame options
borderwidth
| Use this option to specify the width of the border element; the default is zero. |
class_
| You may provide a widget class name when you create this widget. This name may be used to customize the widget's appearance; see Section 27, “Standardizing appearance”. Once the widget is created, the widget class name cannot be changed. |
cursor
| Use this option to specify the appearance of the mouse cursor when it is over the widget; see Section 5.8, “Cursors”. The default value (an empty string) specifies that the cursor is inherited from the parent widget. |
height
|
This option is a dimension that sets the height of the frame.
If you want to force the frame to have a specific
height, call the .grid_propagate(0) on
the widget; see Section 4.2, “Other grid management methods”.
|
padding
|
To create an empty area inside the frame and outside of
the contained widgets, set this option to the desired
dimension. For
example, padding='0.5i' would clear
a half-inch-wide area inside the frame and around
the outside of the widgets inside it.
|
relief
|
Specifies the relief style for the border; see Section 5.6, “Relief styles”. This has no effect unless you also
increase the borderwidth.
|
style
| Use this option to specify a custom widget style name; see Section 47, “Customizing and creating ttk themes and styles”. |
takefocus
|
Use this option to specify whether a widget is visited
during focus traversal; see Section 53, “Focus: routing keyboard input”.
Specify |
width
|
This option is a dimension that sets the width of the frame.
If you want to force the frame to have a specific
width, call the .grid_propagate(0) on
the widget; see Section 4.2, “Other grid management methods”.

These options on the Tkinter Frame widget
are not available as options on
the ttk.Frame constructor:
Table 43. Tkinter Frame options not in ttk.Frame
background or bg
| Configure this option with a style; see Section 47, “Customizing and creating ttk themes and styles”. |

To control the color of the focus highlight when
the frame does not have focus, use a style map to
control the highlightcolor option;
see Section 50.2, “ttk style maps: dynamic appearance
changes”.

highlightcolor
| You may specify the default focus highlight color by setting this option in a style. You may also control the focus highlight color using a style map. |
