On the Mac, Tk buttons ignore the -bg and -fg flags.

The way to specify the default button would be something like this:

btn.configure(bg = "blue", fg = "red", default=ACTIVE)

That shows the Mac Tk button with focus/selected state. This should work 
on Windows, as well--there's no need to specify -fg and -bg colors to 
indicate default status.
