You can do this which does not use paste:

w <- tktoplevel()
.Tcl("ttk::style layout styled.entry {
   Entry.field -sticky nswe -border 0 -children {
      Entry.padding -sticky nswe -children {
         Entry.textarea -sticky nswe
      }
    }
  }",
 sep="\n")
tcl("ttk::style", "configure","styled.entry", background="#b2b2b2")

e <- ttkentry(w,  style="styled.entry")

tkpack(e)
