That's because most tk gui authors don't take the time to style their
interfaces.

Agreed - default tkinter looks horrible. For instance, the default grey
background and bold text for fields - a graphic design abortion!

The beauty of Tkinter is that it's accessed through python classes. So
all you have to do is write a subclass once for each of the widget
classes you use, and all the ugliness goes away.
