Another problem with TkTreeCtrl is that it doesn't work well with the 
latest version of Tk (8.4.15). Daniel Steffen has made some significant 
updates/changes to the way Tk handles system colors and highlights, and 
now things look weird in TkTreeCtrl: for instance, column headers are 
black rather than the Aqua blue. I suspect this would need patching at 
TkTreeCtrl's C level.

I use a darkened image with a label and bind that to a <Button-1>  action.

I'll take a closer look at the Safari labels.
