# tkinter GUI demos
### Comparing various _tkinter_ GUI packages
- _staight_ __tkinter__ (tkdemo.py)
- __ttkthemes__ ThemedTK (tkdemottk.py)
- __ttkbootstrap__ (tkdemoBoots.py)
- __awthemes__ (tkawdark.py)
- __Sun Valley ttk__ (tkdemoSV.py)
Here I have prepared a python3 program with a handful of typical widgets.
The same program is used to showcase the straight tkinter GUI style, and
four other GUI packages written for python/tkinter.
The premier GUI libraries for Python would be GTK3 and QT. Both of these
are more difficult to learn than tkinter. GTK does not work well outside of Linux.
In my opinion _tkinter_ works for the programmer who needs to write a solid
GUI application, but not necessarily an enterprise level application.
The tkinter package (“Tk interface”) is the standard Python interface to the
Tcl/Tk GUI toolkit. Both Tk and tkinter are available on most Unix platforms,
including macOS, as well as on Windows systems. Python/tkinter programs work
almost flawlessly (without alteration) across different OS.
ttkbootstrap has more modern-familiar features than the other modules here.
The ttkthemes module is older, and has _some_ very attractive themes.
Although not particularly attractive, the "vista" ttktheme is extremely
similar to the Windows 10/11 light theme.
To try these demos you'll need to have tkinter installed with Python3.x.
The 'requirements.txt' file has the other libraries you'll need.
Note: my demo program is only for displaying widgets, and switching
between themes.
