Serhiy, I appreciate what you're saying, but special casing to handle both ttk and non-ttk cases seems not feasible given the amount of resources available to enhance/maintain IDLE. Additionally, part of the rationale for making these changes is to simplify the code by leveraging things in ttk that aren't in 'classic' Tkinter.

Would you suggest:
(a) keep two versions of the IDLE code in the distro (one a snapshot)
(b) require 8.5 Tcl/Tk be installed on a system before IDLE can be used
(c) leave IDLE with its current (embarrassing) UI
(d) drop IDLE from Python altogether
