CustomTkinter is a python UI-library based on Tkinter, which provides new, modern and
|
|
fully customizable widgets. They are created and used like normal Tkinter widgets and
|
|
can also be used in combination with normal Tkinter elements. The widgets
|
|
and the window colors either adapt to the system appearance or the manually set mode
|
|
('light', 'dark'), and all CustomTkinter widgets and windows support HighDPI scaling
|
|
(Windows, macOS). With CustomTkinter you'll get a consistent and modern look across all
|
|
desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).

###
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
Install the module with pip:
|
|
```
|
|
pip3 install customtkinter
|
|
```
|
|
**Update existing installation:** ```pip3 install customtkinter --upgrade```\
|
|
(update as often as possible because this library is under active development)
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The **official** documentation can be found in the Wiki Tab here:
|
|
|
|
**--> [Documentation](https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/wiki)**.
|
|
|
|
## Example Program
|
|
To test customtkinter you can try this simple example with only a single button:
|
|
```python
|
|
import tkinter
|
|
import customtkinter
|
|
|
|
customtkinter.set_appearance_mode("System") # Modes: system (default), light, dark
|
|
customtkinter.set_default_color_theme("blue") # Themes: blue (default), dark-blue, green
|
|
|
|
app = customtkinter.CTk() # create CTk window like you do with the Tk window
|
|
app.geometry("400x240")
|
|
|
|
def button_function():
|
|
print("button pressed")
|
|
|
|
# Use CTkButton instead of tkinter Button
|
|
button = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=app, text="CTkButton", command=button_function)
|
|
button.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=tkinter.CENTER)
|
|
|
|
app.mainloop()
|
|
```
|
|
which results in the following window on macOS:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In the [examples folder](https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/tree/master/examples), you
|
|
can find more example programs and in the [Documentation](https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/wiki)
|
|
you can find further information on the appearance mode, scaling, themes and all widgets.
|
|
|
|
## More Examples and Showcase
|
|
|
|
### Appearance mode change and scaling change
|
|
|
|
CustomTkinter can adapt to the Windows 10/11 light or dark mode:

|
|
|
|
| _`complex_example.py` on Windows 11 with system appearance mode change and standard 'blue' theme_
|
|
###
|
|
|
|
On macOS you either need python3.10 or higher or the anaconda python
|
|
version to get a dark window header (Tcl/Tk >= 8.6.9 required):

|
|
|
|
| _`complex_example.py` on macOS with system appearance mode change, user-scaling change and standard 'blue' theme_
|
|
###
|
|
|
|
### Button with images
|
|
It's possible to put an image on a CTkButton. You just have to
|
|
pass a PhotoImage object to the CTkButton with the ``image`` argument.
|
|
If you want no text at all you have to set ``text=""`` or you specify
|
|
how to position the text and image at once with the ``compound`` option:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| _`example_button_images.py` on macOS_
|

### Integration of TkinterMapView widget
|
|
In the following example I used a TkinterMapView which integrates
|
|
well with a CustomTkinter program. It's a tile based map widget which displays
|
|
OpenStreetMap or other tile based maps:
