Non-standard colors for ttk::scale elememnts...

[Robert Heller]

I am trying to use ttk::scale widgets, but with (very) non-standard colors. I
have things *mostly* set, but there is one color setting I can't seem to
figure out how to set.

Consider this piece of code:

package require Tk

ttk::style layout NavigationHelmThrustor \
{Vertical.Scale.trough -sticky nswe \
-children {Vertical.Scale.slider -side top -sticky {we}}}
ttk::style configure NavigationHelmThrustor \
{*}[ttk::style configure TScale]
ttk::style configure NavigationHelmThrustor \
-background green \
-troughcolor DarkOliveGreen

pack [ttk::scale .t -style NavigationHelmThrustor -orient vertical]

When you hover the pointer over the slider, its color changes to a pale grey
color. I want it to be some other color. How can I do that?

I am using Tcl/Tk 8.6 on Ubuntu 18.04 (Linux).

Add:
ttk::style map NavigationHelmThrustor -background {active blue}
