How to fix styling problems with ttk button?

Question

I have a TTK Button in my app and I want to style it but the problem is that some of these styles don't work. Here is my style for the button:

style.configure("Menu.TButton", font=("Times New Roman", 20), width=300, padx=20, anchor=W, background="#21252B", foreground="#fff", activebackground="#BD93F9", bd=0)

But with this style, the foreground just puts a white overlay on the button, background doesn't work at all, activebackground also doesn't work at all, and padx also doesn't work.

So are the names for these styles different or am I doing something wrong?

if it helps here is the code for the button:

home_button = Button(menu_frame, style="Menu.TButton", text="Home")
home_button.grid(column=0, row=1)

and here is how to looks:

here some options you can play around:

toolstyle = ttk.Style()  
toolstyle.theme_use("clam")    # "default", "alt" .....

toolstyle.configure('TButton',                                           
                     background="black",
                     foreground="white", 
                     borderwidth=1,
                     bordercolor="red",
                     lightcolor="yellow",
                     darkcolor="purple",
                     focuscolor="none", 
                     font=("Bahnschrift", 14),
                     width=2)
toolstyle.map('TButton',
                    background=[("pressed", "white"),
                                ("active", "grey")],
                    borderwidth=[("active", 0)],
                    bordercolor=[("active", "blue")],
                    lightcolor=[("active", "purple")],
                    darkcolor=[("active", "black")],
                    foreground=[("pressed", "black"),
                                ("active", "red")]
                           )
