The class name for a ttk::spinbox is TSpinbox.
Dynamic states: active, disabled, focus, readonly.
TSpinbox styling options configurable with ttk::style are:

alias for the -fieldbackground provided that no value is specified for -fieldbackground. Otherwise
it is ignored.
-bordercolor color

-padding padding
-selectbackground color
