Indeed, the classic Tk widgets are per-widget customized, while the 
themed Tk widgets are style-based.  You can of course choose to style 
each widget differently, but it's designed to cover all or few easily.

At http://wiki.tcl.tk/14796 you will see how to customize the background 
on a Ttk button, with some extras.  There are several other examples at 
the Tcl wiki that just need minor translation over to Perl/Tkx.
