Since I'm hardly ever using Windows at all, I discovered only recently

in the Windows preferences is light or dark, the native ttk theme is
light.

Thanks!

 Marc Culler implemented theme switching for macOS - it's actually a complex undertaking. He just did it without a TIP because it doesn't require any new commands. Someone with equivalent Windows expertise would need to take this on for the MS platform.

Yes, we have to make this question visible to magic Csaba ;-).
In the mean time, you may use one of the available dark themes.
But I don't know, if they are Tk 9 ready.
Here is my list:
- awdark: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl-awthemes/
   scalable, great look, unfotunately, we lost Brad as developper...
- azure: https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme
Others on:

Take care,
