AcrylicTK 0.0.3

Allows acrylic/transparent effect on tkinter

#AcrylicTK

This package will add acrylic/transparency support to tkinter.

##How to use

###Installing First thing, you have to install it! use this command to install

pip install acrylictk

###Making the window Making a window is almost the same as tkinter. But to use widgets or tkinter methods you will need access it by using the atk variable. here is how to make a new window

from AcrylicTK import *

win = ATK()

win.atk.mainloop()

You need to refrence the window like this ###Adding widgets Adding widgets is pretty easy. We will add a simple label that says hello

from AcrylicTK import *


win = ATK()

lbl = Label(win.atk, text="Hello", font="arial 10")
lbl.place(x=0, y=0)

win.atk.mainloop()

#Making a transparent spot Now for the whole point of the libary. To make a transparent spot use the widget that AcrylicTK adds called transparency. Here is how you use it.

from AcrylicTK import *


win = ATK()

tsp = transparency(win.atk, 10000, hieght=100)
tsp.place(x=0, y=0)
lbl = Label(win.atk, text="Hello", font="arial 10")
lbl.place(x=0, y=0)

win.atk.mainloop()

There, now we have a transparent spot The effects will only work on an ATK window To make the background of the text transparent I added a variable called acrylic use it in the bg argument of the label like this.

from AcrylicTK import *


win = ATK()

tsp = transparency(win.atk, 10000, hieght=100)
tsp.place(x=0, y=0)
lbl = Label(win.atk, text="Hello", font="arial 10", bg=acrylic)
lbl.place(x=0, y=0)

win.atk.mainloop()

#ATK Methods Here are all the useful methods that acrylicTK adds ##ATK() ATK is the class that makes the window Arguments: darkMode - enables dark title bar ##ATK.config() Change settings for the window

from AcrylicTK import *


win = ATK()

win.config(windowPosX=100, windowPosY=100, windowWidth=500, windowHieght=400, acrylic=False)

tsp = transparency(win.atk, 10000, hieght=100)
tsp.place(x=0, y=0)
lbl = Label(win.atk, text="Hello", font="arial 10", bg=acrylic)
lbl.place(x=0, y=0)

win.atk.mainloop()

You can guess what the first four aguments are but the last argument if True will enable the acrylic effect like seen in the windows 10 start menu if False, It will just be a simple blur

##ATK.update() This updates the window. use this NOT ATK.atk.update()
