Stuck on an issue?

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the button theme (disabled buttons vs light theme)?

See original GitHub issue

In light themes the disabled buttons are ‘invisible’. ttkbootstrap 1.3.1

I’m starting the app with this setting:

self.admin_search_next = ttk.Button(self.frm, image=self.img_next, command=self.admin_next_row)
self.admin_search_next.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=1)
self.admin_search_next.configure(state='disabled')

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w33t3rzfdn318wa/disabled_buttons_no_contrast.mp4/file see the video, in dark themes there is a contrast of colors between the normal and disabled buttons. But in light themes there could be this contrast as well. Mainly on buttons without text that have a white image.

disabled buttons - light theme – invisible, mostly buttons just white images. disabled-light

default buttons - light theme – OK default-light

disabled buttons - dark theme – OK disable-dark

default buttons - dark theme – OK default-dark

Am I doing something wrong?

alternatively, if I stick with the grayish disabled color, using a 12% transparency on the fg color and a 38% transparency on the background color gives me this result for dark and light themes.

I’ve found that the ‘colored’ disabled doesn’t translate well to all the widgets. So perhaps a simple gray-ish color will work? Not decided yet.
