You can do this by defining custom styles that inherit their
properties from the widget's default style and set some or other
properties to custom values, as for example:

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

root=Tk()
style = ttk.Style()
style.configure('my.TButton', background='red')
style.configure('myOther.TButton', background='blue')
ttk.Button(root, style='my.TButton', text='foo').pack()
ttk.Button(root, style='myOther.TButton', text='bar').pack()

root.mainloop()


I hope this helps

Michael
