Set style for ttk.Combobox

To set the style for the ttk.Combobox, I can do something like this:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

root = tk.Tk()

combostyle = ttk.Style()

combostyle.theme_create('combostyle', parent='alt',
                         settings = {'TCombobox':
                                     {'configure':
                                      {'selectbackground': 'blue',
                                       'fieldbackground': 'red',
                                       'background': 'green'
                                       }}}
                         )
combostyle.theme_use('combostyle') 

combo = ttk.Combobox(root, values=['1', '2', '3'])
combo['state'] = 'readonly'
combo.pack()

entry = tk.Entry(root)
entry.pack()

root.mainloop()

But that sets the theme for all tkinter and ttk widgets. I want to set the style for only the Combobox. How can I do this?

I am using Python 3 on Windows 10.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your original method configures a global theme. To get a theme to be attached to one component you have to create it and attach it to the widget class. 

combostyle.configure('MyCustomStyleName.TCombobox', selectbackground = 'blue', ........) 
combo = ttk.Combobox(root, values=['1', '2', '3'], style = 'MyCustomStyleName.TCombobox')
