Thanks to everyone who replied.  All replies were constructive, none
were telling me to stop belly-aching.
I forgot/omitted to state that it was I who wrote the original project
(in a completely different language), making the task of re-writing it
much less formidable.  And meaning that I am familiar with the general
concepts of building a GUI.  Still, it will be a lot of work.

Grant, I may well buy one of the books you suggested.
I find the topic of themes and styles the hardest one to get my head
around (if anyone knows a good introduction that would be fantastic). 
All the other stuff is OK provided I can find something on the net to
give me the necessary information, which so far I usually can.

Christian, I am adopting your suggestion of using ttk widgets, except
for Button objects, because
    The colour of tk.Button objects can be set directly (bg=... fg=...)
    On my platform (Windows10) the shadowing of tk.Button objects is
more conspicuous (without using styles or whatever).

Best wishes
Rob Cliffe

Hi, Dan says:
When you get your style ideas sort of frozen, maybe you can poke up a sample here.

Aworked example for yourself is useful anyway.

My stuffs all in Ubuntu so seeing what works and doesn't in MS products interests me a lot.

I usually avoid the tkk variations almost completely. I have all the things I use each wrapped in a call that does what I want both aesthetically and so on. My app is only medium sensitive to art look and feel, productivity to maintain it is more important then super fancy looking.

Regards,
Dan
