Hello

This is really a low priority question, but been myself a perfectionist in UI design, I was wondering if there is a possibility to set the color Tablematrix uses when a cell/row is selected/in focus/highlighted (I do not know how to express it, sorry). Standard is a a quite old fashioned blue. I tried with $t->tagRow('active',$row); but this is actually not the right way. I can see the selection going blue and then getting the set color (not to mention that I have not implemented the way to reset the original color when another row is selected.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::TableMatrix;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $arrayVar = {};

print "Filling Array...\n";
my ($rows,$cols) = (10, 10);
 foreach my $row  (0..($rows-1)){
    foreach my $col (0..($cols-1)){
      $arrayVar->{"$row,$col"} = "$row,$col";
   }
}

print "Creating Table...\n";

sub colSub{
  my $col = shift;
  return "OddCol" if( $col > 0 && $col%2) ;
}

sub rowSub{
  my $row = shift;
  return "Oddrow" if( $row > 0 && $row%2) ;
}

 my $t = $mw->Scrolled('TableMatrix', -rows => $rows, -cols => $cols,
 -width => 6, -height => 6,
 -titlerows => 1, -titlecols => 1,
 -variable => $arrayVar,
 -coltagcommand => \&colSub,
 -browsecommand => \&coloring,
 -colstretchmode => 'last',
 -rowtagcommand => \&rowSub,
 -rowstretchmode => 'last',
 -selectmode => 'extended',
 -selecttitles => 0,
 -drawmode => 'slow',
 -scrollbars=>'se',
 -relief => 'ridge',
 -selectmode => 'extended',
 -selecttype=>'row',
 );

#  Color definitions here:
$t->tagConfigure('active', -bg => 'lightyellow', -fg => 'red', -relief
+ => 'sunken');
$t->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');
$t->focus;
$t->configure (-state=>'disabled');
Tk::MainLoop;


sub coloring {
    print "COLORING SELECTED ROW...\n";
    my ($previous_index, $actual_index) = @_;
    my ($row, $col) = split ',', $actual_index;
    $t->tagRow('active',$row);
}
