Just as a side note for Terry and anyone else testing on macOS... the recent 
updates in Tk have smoothed out many of the appearance issues for the classic 
widgets. See the attached screen shot tkversions.png comparing 8.6.9 with the 
current trunk of the Tk repo. Notice things like the background color around 
the optionmenu aren't as jarring on the newer Tk versions.

Having said that, I'll likely stick with the older ones for development 
purposes, just because the blemishes with the classic widgets and other things 
are so much more noticeable! 

Incidentally, if you've got several versions of Tcl/Tk on your system, you can 
use /usr/bin/install_name_tool to point the Tkinter shared library at the one 
you want to use. Use like "install_name_tool -change OLD NEW file", e.g.:
    install_name_tool -change /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.6/Tk 
/Users/roseman/tmp/tcl86core/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.6/Tk 
build/lib.macosx-10.15-x86_64-3.10/_tkinter.cpython-310-darwin.so
