new widgets are coming soon

Added support to bidi language e.g. Arabic to be shown properly in tkinter widgets (on linux), see example below

import tkinter as tk
import awesometkinter as atk
root = tk.Tk()

text = 'السلام عليكم'

# text display incorrectly on linux without bidi support
tk.Label(root, text=text, font='any 20').pack()

entry = tk.Entry(root, font='any 20', justify='right')
entry.pack()

lbl = tk.Label(root, font='any 20')
lbl.pack()

# adding bidi support for widgets
atk.add_bidi_support(lbl)
atk.add_bidi_support(entry)

# we can use set() and get() methods to set and get text on a widget
entry.set(text)
lbl.set('هذا كتاب adventure شيق')

root.mainloop()

or from terminal:

python3 -m awesometkinter
or just
awesometkinter

this will display a test window

Requirements:

• minimum python version 3.6
• tkinter
• pillow >= 6.0.0

Limitations:

• some widgets don't work well with all tkinter themes, it is recommended to set tkinter theme to 'default', 'alt', or 'classic' for things to work fine, 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

# our root
root = tk.Tk()
root.config(background=atk.DEFAULT_COLOR)

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

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

# 3d progressbar
bar = atk.RadialProgressbar3d(f1, fg='cyan', size=120)
bar.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
bar.start()

# 3d button
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)

# flat radial progressbar
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))
