Hello Christian,

Thank you for the answer. I didn't know Ttk had this feature. Maybe I was a little too fixated on the documentation of the non-Ttk button.
It is definetly good to know this feature exists, although I will have to see if it is worth the effort to implement this into my application as I rely on Tk buttons currently.
