Yes, there is. To change theme on the fly use:
echo '*TkTheme: clam' | xrdb -merge -
To set theme, add "*TkTheme: clam" to ~/.Xresources and run
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
There is lack of dark themes in default tk installs right now,
i'm using awdark: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl-awthemes/
To install theme you need to unpack it somewhere like ~/.local/share/tk-themes/awthemes
And tell tcl where to find it.
export TCLLIBPATH=$HOME/.local/share/tk-themes
I had to modify version numbers inside awthemes package to make in work,
but hope it'll be fixed upstream.
Here is blog post which explains this in greater detail:
