Using the Ttk widgets gives the application an improved look and feel.
As discussed above, there are differences in how the styling is coded.

+Spinbox
+-------
+The :class:`ttk.Spinbox` widget is a :class:`ttk.Entry` enhanced with increment
+and decrement arrows. It can be used for numbers or lists of string values.
+This widget is a subclass of :class:`Entry`.
+
+Besides the methods inherited from :class:`Widget`: :meth:`Widget.cget`,
+:meth:`Widget.configure`, :meth:`Widget.identify`, :meth:`Widget.instate`

+:meth:`Entry.bbox`, :meth:`Entry.delete`, :meth:`Entry.icursor`,

+Options
+^^^^^^^
+
+This widget accepts the following specific options:
+
+ .. tabularcolumns:: |l|L|
+
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| Option | Description |
++======================+======================================================+
+| from | Float value. If set, this is the minimum value to |
+| | which the decrement button will decrement. Must be |
+| | spelled as ``from_`` when used as an argument, since |
+| | ``from`` is a Python keyword. |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| to | Float value. If set, this is the maximum value to |
+| | which the increment button will increment. |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| increment | Float value. Specifies the amount which the |
+| | increment/decrement buttons change the |
+| | value. Defaults to 1.0. |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| values | Sequence of string or float values. If specified, |
+| | the increment/decrement buttons will cycle through |
+| | the items in this sequence rather than incrementing |
+| | or decrementing numbers. |
+| | |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| wrap | Boolean value. If ``True``, increment and decrement |
+| | buttons will cycle from the ``to`` value to the |
+| | ``from`` value or the ``from`` value to the ``to`` |
+| | value, respectively. |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| format | String value. This specifies the format of numbers |
+| | set by the increment/decrement buttons. It must be |
+| | in the form "%W.Pf", where W is the padded width of |
+| | the value, P is the precision, and '%' and 'f' are |
+| | literal. |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| command | Python callable. Will be called with no arguments |
+| | whenever either of the increment or decrement buttons|
+| | are pressed. |
+| | |
++----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+
+Virtual events
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The spinbox widget generates an **<<Increment>>** virtual event when the
+user presses <Up>, and a **<<Decrement>>** virtual event when the user
+presses <Down>.
+
+ttk.Spinbox
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. class:: Spinbox
+
+ .. method:: get()
+
+ Returns the current value of the spinbox.
+
+
+ .. method:: set(value)
+
+ Sets the value of the spinbox to *value*.
