Its not often you find a KZbin author who can actually teach. From one teacher to another, good work! Please make many many more videos. Perhaps covering Buttons/push buttons/buttons with conditions.

I fell randomly on your video without knowing anything about it and I found your way of explaning things quite clear. Thanks!

[@paullong4086]

I never quite understood columnconfigure and rowconfigure until I came across your videos. Thank you for doing such a great job of explaining how they work.

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

Thank you Paul ! I am so happy to see that my work is useful out there ! :)

i love the indepth explanations, and i have noticed that you are not just briefly touching on, but ure really going indepth with it, sometimes explaining the same thing - again in a differnt way. perfect for a beginner!

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

Thank you Kiraa!

Amazing videos. Have you thought about doing any work as an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice actor?

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

If i had a prize for the best comment I have gotten so far. You would be winning John. Maybe I would need the biceps to properly get his voice you know ?

[@GreenFiro82]

👍👍👍👍

[@jonahyy]

Any chance we can get the source code to this example?

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

Hello Jonah ! Unfortunately I looked over my pycharm files and I wrote over it. I am sorry :/ From now on, I will make sure I put all my files on GitHub when I release my new videos. Thanks for understanding !

[@seventfour9247]

Hi wonder if you can help when using tkinter ttk and styles on a Mac we cannot change the background colour on certain widgets like buttons and labels I have searched the internet but no one has an answer that works If I dont use ttk and styles then every thing works on a Mac as it supposed to If you can help it would be super Cheers Mani I am using Mac OSX Catalina version 10.15.7

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

This comment is actually super good because you just demonstrated something that is a common issue in styling widgets. Indeed, both TTK and TK are different when it comes to customizing your final look. I do not think it has anything to do with your machine. When it comes down to it, styles is ONLY useful with TTK. You can use the direct ''background'' option for TK widgets when initializing your widget. Do not try to use styles in a TK widget it will simply not work.

[@ThinkingThroughCode]

Further on, I also want to add that even with styles you got graphical backgrounds in certain widgets meaning that this element will not make the background option effective. I actually did have this problem myself when I was trying to edit the background of an ENTRY widget. I suggest you read the documentation: www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/ttk_label.html In here, you will notice that in the ''STYLING OPTIONS'' section there is a disclaimer saying: ''Some options are only available for specific themes.'' This means that your MAC is using a theme on its own that does not support background change. To fix this, you can actually change your Styles theme. I suggest you do so as described in this article from TkDocs: tkdocs.com/tutorial/styles.html Notice how the page shows you different themes with different colors? Well, it's possible that the default theme on your MAC does not support certain widgets to be changed because they use a graphical background. Here is an exercise for you to debug. After your created your styles object, call out the following line: s = ttk.Style() s.theme_use(''theme_name'') under ''theme_name'' I would try ''clam'' that is the one that I see always works, then you can try different ones and see which one pleases you the most. BUT you will notice that some of them change the background color of certain widgets and some do not. I hope this comment clears things out. It is all in the style theme of your GUI. Luckily, we can change that :) give it a shot. It worked for me! Although I never used a mac, I am pretty sure this can work. Also, read the ''tcl.ttk'' documentation when researching a widget. Honestly, it is one of the best sources for my code! Here is an example of the entry widget, where they did indeed mention a difference in MAC and Windows for the background option. See the STYLING OPTIONS section near the end of the page on this link, where it shows that using ''fieldbackground'' instead of background can help: www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/ttk_entry.html#:~:text=An%20ttk%3A%3Aentry%20widget,option%20and%20xview%20widget%20command. Thank you for commenting I truly appreciate it.

[@Manibutt001]

Thank you for your comprehensive reply yes you are right i didn’t set up a style theme_use(“default”) once I added this code now I am able to change my background colours Thank you so very much for your help God bless
