Definitely love the speed of delivery you bring!! Fast, sharp....to the point!! CTK added to the list of tools now, thinking I’ll be using that a LOT more than TK 😵🤭 cheers!!

[@JRis44]

Finally some more videos on this repository. I'm looking forward to the innovations coming out of this customTkinter! I need to get back to working on all the basic programs I made without a GUI back when I started learning python in February. Goodness this is exciting!

[@HomelessOnline]

I'm a beginner to Python. This is a fantastic presentation, I feel like I could build a nice UI tonight.

[@afiffarakhan4992]

Man, what I've been looking for years. You're killing it bro

[@MrBiggles53]

LOT of improvements since 2.12 & wxPython! I hope to get back into Python in a year or so. Had to switch to Java then C+ or Sharp for projects before switching to web front ends then Linux Admin. The programming approach still comes in handy, but I’ve strayed from being pure pythonic.

[@sebastianjost]

Amazing. I could never figure out a reasonably easy way to do rounded corners in tkinter. Here that seems to be the default setting.

[@skoolderz55]

Depending on the python version, you would have to put "font=("Roboto", 24)" in place of "text-font"

[@themastersoul3138]

Thanks bro it helps me!

This was such a fast, yet very informative video. Well done, thats a hard balance to make in a 10 minute video. Keep up the good work!

[@sinkingboat101]

Could not agree more. As he pointed out himself, it is just sort of a wrapper around tkinter, with nicer names etc. and much more comfort. This can be all done in the original, but it would take a lot of time. A really nice 10 minute dive to get familiar with a new library

[@herbst2941]

Wow, that’s an amazing content! Started to work with tkintier few days ago, and got this video recommended, totally satisfied 😀

Great video, didn't realise it was so easy to make a great-looking GUI until I watched this video. Thanks!

[@MZak-js7oy]

can you make a comparison between "PysimpleGUI, Tk, CustomTK, streamlit and Flet" ? the complexity of the code, the number of code lines, load time, speed, event handling, web usage etc ?

[@UncleDavid]

flet is just flutter bindings, pysimpleGUI looks like windows 95, tk looks like windows 98, customtk looks like windows xp, streamlet is basically react components so html and css, pyqt has .ui files which are basically xml files, xml can be edited to your hearts content with css, or you can use their ui python syntax to make modern apps

[@cheaterman49]

Kivy too :-)

[@Mahanmarwat]

@@cheaterman49 PyGi too.

[@duftcola]

Pysimplegui only lets you create a single window so if your ui is a bit more complex than that then it is quite limited

[@cheaterman49]

@@UncleDavid How is Kivy "pretty limited"? It gives you access to the whole power of OpenGL/GLES, so you have literally as much control as you want :-)

[@DaeViZ0n3]

When will someone make a drag-and-drop editor for this and help everyone save time on manually coding such stuff. Even VBA had this built in, why is everyone so proud of all the characters it took to build a UI..

[@robertfox499]

I was thinking the exact same thing myself. Even VBA in Excel has a click and drag UI builder so why are people getting so excited about this? And then it dawned on me that one could pretty easily build a Tkinter Drag and Drop GUI builder in... wait for it... wait for it...: Visual Basic Dot Net or Visual Basic C#. It would be a supreme irony, no?

[@juanandresmolina9704]

It's a project (i don't remember the name) that does something like this, it's very basic and does not work really well. It uses Figma and Tkinter.

[@MidnightMarrow]

Man I'm glad I found this, out of everything I've looked at nothing has mentioned customtkinter lol. Starting with Python trying to make a server manager which is probably a stupid start but I also wanted something useful that will help push me through it instead of giving up sooner than later. Looked at the WYSYWYG GUI implements etc but everything kind of looked ugly. Part of me wants to just code it out in Sublime and the other part of me wants to save time on the GUI via drag and drop concept which of course creates massive endless blocks of code which is annoying to sift through should I have the desire or need to. As much as I don't want to waste time on it I want it to look nice and be user friendly and I'm kind of just stuck at what I want to do now. -_-'

[@CaffeinatedTech]

That's a much more modern interface. Cheers for showing it off.

[@martinyates353]

My first GUI! great video thanks.

[@uplink-on-yt]

I'll forever be amazed at how we make visual interfaces without visual editors...

[@NeonGreenT]

Yeah, or how we have to read through some thrown together error output instead of the editor just straight up jumping and highlighting the line where the exception happend. I mean it can output the error, why can't it process it then ? I think all of this is even more ridiculous if you compare it to games like AgeOfEmpires or something, like even the games almost thirty years ago had visual designers for their ingame levels, yet when programming anything it feels like I have to deal with 40yr old technology for some religious reason. IMO programming should be the most advanced user experience a computer can give you and not the worst one lol.

[@DankMemes-xq2xm]

@@NeonGreenT True. Honestly feels like game engines handle this stuff better. It takes literally seconds to throw together a UI and a bunch of working buttons in something like Unity or Godot. It actually makes me wonder if making an application 100% in Godot is feasible (not a video game, but a mobile app like IG or something)

Nice, informative video. Thank you.

[@rawgosh]

I am currently learning tkinter and I am super amazed by the fact that what a coding skill can do. Loved the video🙌🙌

[@sebastianjost]

Looks like you can just use this instead. From what's seen in the video, everything you learn about tkinter can instantly be used for Ctk too. Syntax and variable names are almost identical and all major objects seem to exist in Ctk

[@versystudio822]

Since customtkinter update, if you have an error "ValueError: ['text_font'] are not supported arguments", change argument 'text_font' to 'font', like this: label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(master=frame1, text="Trade Control", font=("Roboto", 24))

I would have liked if you showed the visual progress of the frame somewhere while writing code since that makes if way easier to understand what does what

[@rexypy]

If someone would have this error: ['text_font'] are not supported arguments. Just make it font like this: label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(master=frame, text="Login system",font=("Roboto",24))

[@2GoodMath]

Try pygame, its pretty good. It makes a custom window that you can draw shapes and images at any coordinate. Also, you can use math and lists to create complex games with physics or environments to explore.

[@vitarse4891]

Thanks !👍🏾

[@FabrizioFadda]

i set a background image, a color gradient, but when i tried to set the frames transparent (to reveal the gradient in the background) it didn't work, just showed the system color or the dark or the light,. How can i solve?

[@thefamousdjx]

For the easiest, intuitive and very modern ui just make your python code to an api and use Flutter for front end. If you just need a quick ui where the user isnt worried about the look then pyqt is the best through the designer and you can easily implement progress bars, drag and drop of files etc

[@BurakSaruhan]

Is there any examples to this? Like a boilerplate git repo?

[@ccl4872]

How would I go about doing that? I'm new to this so what would I have to learn make my python code an api and use flutter for front end? Thanks!

[@shawnington]

QT and intuitive don't belong in the same sentence. Its a C++ library with Python bindings, but still mostly still C++ syntax, for anyone not semi competent in c++ its the most confusing non-pythonic thing they will ever interact with in python.

[@oldgoatroper7030]

Line 17 in the label defn. - text_font=("Roboto", 24) is incorrect ---- it should be: font=("Roboto", 24)

How do you know all that? You understand the concept? or you have a pre ready sheet?

[@Neo_lol]

Quick side note for complete beginners you also have to "pip install packaging" i almost started crying because it didnt work but i was just missing packaging as im new to python

[@nohgl4026]

it still does not work for me it gives me this error, how did you solve this?

It is cool, but it seems like you can't have as custom programms as with Tkinter; you can create a window like this with Tkinter, but it will be much harder, but on the other hand, you can get much more creative. Really depends on your needs.

[@nolanstrife7350]

Hi there A quick question... Is there any good Python GUI designers akin to VS2022's Windows Forms or IntelliJ's Swing? And on that topic, is it so bad to rely on those? Because to me just coding UIs without seeing them is not very obvious, while using designers not only makes it easier to see what are you doing, but also doubles as a "sketching phase" of developing a program
