Hey, I'm trying to get Tk scrollbars colored on Windows but they are remaining grey.

I made a small test program shown below, it shows colored scrollbars on Debian Linux with Perl 5.14.2 and perl-tk 804.030-1. (But on Windows8 with perl 5.26.0 strawberry perl the scrollbars remain grey). Any workaround to get them colored on Windows?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use Tk::Pane;
$top = new MainWindow;
$top->configure(-background=>'#333333',-title=>'test');
$top->geometry('300x300+100+200');

$select_windowS = $top->Scrolled('Frame', -scrollbars => 'e',-backgrou
+nd=>'#171717')->pack(-expand=>'both',-fill=>'both');

my $ybar = $select_windowS->Subwidget('yscrollbar');

$ybar->configure(-troughcolor=>'#ff0000',-background=>'#ff0000',-highl
+ightbackground=>'#0000ff',-activebackground=>'#00ffff');

for(1..40) { 
     $select_windowS->Label(-text=>"test",-foreground=>'#ffffff',-back
+ground=>'#000000')->pack(-side=>'top');
}

MainLoop;
