Pixmap themes should be fixed before using with Ttk in tk8.5/8.6
because they use 'tile' namespace but should be 'ttk'
To enable theme you need running following command:

widget.tk.call('lappend', 'auto_path', theme_parent_dir)   #to make theme
accessible for tk
widget.tk.call('ttk::setTheme', theme_name)                     #to set
theme using theme name
