on this moment the package is refactored to sK1/src/app/UI/lib-ttk to be
generic for all packages like Tkinter.

Yes, you are right. Our goal is providing custom Ttk package for our project
but not for conventional usage. So our code could  be useful as tips, no
more.

We don't use  ttk::labelframe due to some ttk implementation bugs (may be
they have been fixed). In Ttk.py you have found regular tk::labelframe.
"T" prefix is used to avoid clashes with Tkinter classes. If you migrate
from Tkinter to Ttk and your project is bigger than regular 'hello world'
such clashes could be a serious issue.

Also, did you happen to give a try to my wrapper and found some

Sorry, I cannot using your package because it isn't compatible with sK1 code
base. Regarding behavior we are overloading some ttk-related tcl scripts on
runtime resolving some ttk and tk issues (sK1/src/app/tcl).

Our sK1 UI uses pixmap-based themes only because existing Tile/ttk themes
are not useful for complex interface. For example, as for Ubuntulooks theme:

sorry it is a Russian Wikipedia page, English variant is under construction.
