IDLE's currently-working Settings dialog uses a  ttl.Notebook with 5 
tabs.  To see it, run IDLE and on the top menu, select Options => 
Configure IDLE.  Each tab displays a ttk.Frame with multiple widgets. 
Where there is a choice, ttk widgets are used.  They make the most 
different on macOS and least difference on Windows (because the tk 
widgets look pretty good there).

The code is in idlelib/configdialog.py.  ConfigDialog creates a window 
and notebook and adds the tab frames.  As Christian indicated, the 
notebook itself takes very little code.  Each of the tab frames is a 
separate Frame subclass in the same file, but they could be in separate 
files.
