Following the themed-widget work for the tkinter dialogs (simpledialog in #151848, filedialog in #152036), tkinter.scrolledtext.ScrolledText gained a keyword-only use_ttk parameter to build the surrounding frame and the vertical scroll bar from the themed tkinter.ttk widgets instead of the classic tkinter widgets.

The classic widgets remain the default for now: ScrolledText.frame and ScrolledText.vbar are documented public attributes, and classic-only scroll bar options (e.g. troughcolor, width) would not apply to a ttk.Scrollbar. use_ttk=True opts into the themed widgets.

The text widget itself stays the classic Text, as tkinter.ttk has no themed counterpart.

Sorry, something went wrong.

ScrolledText gained a keyword-only use_ttk parameter to build the
surrounding frame and the vertical scroll bar from the themed
tkinter.ttk widgets instead of the classic tkinter widgets.  The
classic widgets remain the default.
