Hmmmm... I'm not sure I understand. So, you want to change *from* a
Tile-based button to... a standard Tk button? Or, do you have a
standard Tk button that you want to change to a Tile-based button?

Either way, does this help?

package require tile
ttk::button .b1 -text "My Tile Button"
button .b2 -text "My Tk Button"
pack .b1 .b2

I'd say OP wants both, [::ttk::button] configure -background

That won't be a snap.

The option -background doesn't work with tile 0.7

package require tile

::ttk::button .bu -text test
pack .bu

how can I change the background from the button to red??

Ahhhh... I misunderstood the original request. I think you're likely
to get several different responses here. The first, likely, may be
"don't do that". That is, Tile was created specifically to give you
widgets with the *real* look and feel of the target WM. Changing the
widgets to have non-standard anything (including backgrounds) isn't
really what Tile's all about.

That being said, what you want can be done with Tile, just not in the
manner you might think. While I can't give you the specifics (because
I don't do it), I believe you'll have to create a new "style" (I think
that's the proper term) for your red button. Perhaps Joe or someone
more in the know will respond soon.

Yes, you are right. I'll create a new style.
I read the docu, but I didn't understand, so I need an example.
