Screenshots:

Applications examples which use AwesomeTkinter:

• PyIDM

Installation:

python3 pip install awesometkinter

for quick test:

import awesometkinter as atk
atk.main()

or from terminal:

python3 -m awesometkinter
or just
awesometkinter

this will display a test window

Requirements:

• minimum python version 3.6
• tkinter
• pillow

Limitations:

• tkinter theme should be 'default', 'alt', or 'classic' for things to work fine on windows, so after creating your root you should change theme like example below

Example:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import awesometkinter as atk

root = tk.Tk()
root.config(background=DEFAULT_COLOR)

# select tkinter theme required for things to be right on windows,
# only 'alt', 'default', or 'classic' can work fine on windows 10
s = ttk.Style()
s.theme_use('default')

f1 = atk.Frame3d(root)
f1.pack(side='left', expand=True, fill='both', padx=3, pady=3)

bar = atk.RadialProgressbar3d(f1, fg='cyan', size=120)
bar.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
bar.start()

atk.Button3d(f1, text='3D Button').pack(pady=10)

f2 = atk.Frame3d(root)
f2.pack(side='left', expand=True, fill='both', padx=3, pady=3)

bar = atk.RadialProgressbar(f2, fg='green')
bar.pack(padx=30, pady=30)
bar.start()

atk.Button3d(f2, text='Pressed Button').pack(pady=10)

root.mainloop()

also, you can use a lot of useful functions that manipulate images, e.g. to create a tkinter PhotoImage from a file but want to change its size and color:

img = atk.create_image(fp='path to my image file', color='red', size=(150, 100))
