My image looks fine when it is on a normal button. When I change the
state of the button to disabled the image is stippled. Is there a way
to change this default behaviour?

 
This is intended in order to provide visual feedback. If you use a
ttk::button, you can provide your own disabled image instead. Create a
disabled image e.g. grayscale or toned-down version, and then pass a
list to -image. YOu can specify multiple images for different states of
the button, so that should be
"normalimage disabled disabledimage" (untested)

Wow, I did not know this trick, awesome !
 
Here is an example with the disabled state on tk 8.6:
 
% ttk::button .b -image {::tk::icons::information disabled
::tk::icons::error}
% pack .b
-> shows the information icon
% .b state disabled
-> shows the error icon
 
GREAT !!!
 
Thanks Christian,

Hello Harald,

thank you for the example. It was of great help to quickly test the Ttk feature in question.
