[Tutor] Tkinter checkbutton

Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if the select area (the area where the 
tick is displayed when the button is selected) can be set when the 
checkbutton is selected? According to the documentation the default 
colour is red but in my case it's white and doesn't change colour when 
the checkbutton is selected.

This is from the tk docs. "selectcolor The color of the checkbutton when 
it is set. By default, it is red."

This is one of my checkbuttons:

         self.red_check_button = ttk.Checkbutton(self.frame,
                                                text='Red LED',
                                                selectcolor='red',
variable=self.red_value)

This causes the select area to be red whether the checkbutton is 
selected or not and it's the same for a tk or ttk checkbutton. The way 
the checkbutton behaves could possibly depend on the OS used.
