According to the CTkTable Documentation, currently, there's no way to add a widget inside a cell. I tried this, and here's what I got Here's my code:

import customtkinter
from CTkTable import *

root = customtkinter.CTk()

table = CTkTable(master=root, row=5, column=5)

table.configure(values=[[customtkinter.CTkButton(table),2,3,4,5],
         [1,2,3,4,5],
         [1,2,3,4,5],
         [1,2,3,4,5],
         [1,2,3,4,5]])
table.pack(expand=True, fill="both", padx=20, pady=20)

root.mainloop()

This shows that currently, you can only add text to cells in CTkTable

What you can do

This is surely going to be a long method, but worth it. This method also comes with some setbacks, like the corners won't be rounded anymore.

You can make frames for each value, change their colours and use frame.grid_propagate(False) (There might be a different code for pack or place).

If you want the same colours as of the cells, change the filled colour and the outlined colour in alternate row cells.
