Yes. Tkinter and Tix both share the same look n feel
and are just collections of widgets.

Ttk is a smaller set of widgets but uses the style of the
native toolkit(or at least a much closer approximation
than Tkinter). Personally the look of Tk doesn't offend
me that much so I rarely bother using ttk, but if you
plan on sharing apps with folks who live and breath Windows
or Mac then they might feel more comfortable with
ttk buttons/menus. But it does need an extra
import/reference beyond Tkinter or Tix.
