A bit of handholding required here:

TIX 8.1 under Mandrake 9.2.
Does anybody know how to configure particular widget attributes like
background colour in TIX? Presumably there is some way of using
tixDisplayStyle to set these up, but the man documentation is rather
sparse. I have checked around in the demos and samples directories
without finding anything related to display styles. I would like to
change the default colours for widgets like the file selection
megawidget, and perhaps others like borderwidth. The interpreter
simply ignores any attempt to configure attributes directly.

My only knowledge of TIX comes from man and Mark Harrison's
Tcl/Tk Tools. I would not know what to google for.
