# macOS Calculator in Python

This is a simple calculator application designed to mimic the look and functionality of the macOS Calculator. It is built using Python's Tkinter library and provides basic arithmetic operations along with a user-friendly interface. With the help of [WhiteSur GTK theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) for the Traffic light buttons.

## Features

- Basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

- Toggle the sign of the last entered number.

- Clear the entry field with a single button press.

- Input validation to handle errors gracefully.

- Adjustable button layout and styles to resemble the macOS calculator.

## Requirements

To run this application, you need:

- Python 3.x installed on your machine.

- Tkinter (usually included with Python standard libraries).

## Installation

1. **Download the file in [Releases](https://github.com/jtlw99/python-mac-cal/releases)**

2. **Extract it**

3. **Open a Terminal window in the folder**

4. **Use this command:**

   ```bash

   python3 cal.py

   ```

5. **Voilà!**

### Tested on ZorinOS 17 core

## Usage

- **I suggest using vinceliuice's [WhiteSur GTK theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) to get the traffic light buttons like macOS.**

- Launch the application, and you will see the calculator interface.

- Use the buttons to perform calculations. 

- You can use the `C` button to clear the input.

- The `±` button toggles the sign of the last entered number.

- The application limits the input length to ensure visibility.

## Customization

Feel free to customize the appearance and functionality of the calculator. You can modify the button colors, fonts, and other settings in the `cal.py` file.
