- highlightthickness - Width of the highlight rectangle when the widget has focus.
- padX padY - Extra space the widget requests from its layout manager beyond the minimum the widget needs to display its contents in the x and y directions.
- selectborderwidth - Width of the three-dimentional border around selected items of the widget.
- wraplength - Maximum line length for widgets that perform word wrapping.
- height - Desired height of the widget; must be greater than or equal to 1.
- underline - Index of the character to underline in the widget's text (0 is the first character, 1 is the second one, and so on).
