Example:

import customtkinter as ct from stk_widgets import ToolTip, OptionList, PasswordEntry, Spinner, ArcSpinner, VerticalTab, ClickableLabel,
CircleButton, stkmessagebox, StkFileDialog, layouts,STk, screenshot_frame

from stk_widgets.window.layouts import DraggableWidget

STk is a rudimentary attempt at a custom window, it is very buggy so only use if you can fix or are okay with it

It's preferable to use regular tk, ttk or ctk

root = STk()

root.set_title("Test Application") root.geometry("500x500")

Adds the default buttons for window control

root.add_default_winbtns()

entry = PasswordEntry(root.set_titlebar.right_container)

x =ct.CTkSegmentedButton(root.set_titlebar.right_container, values=["system", "light", "dark"], command=lambda e: ct.set_appearance_mode(e))

#add widgets to title bar root.add_widget_to_titlebar(entry) root.add_widget_to_titlebar(x)

Vertical tabview

tabview = VerticalTab(root, width=600, height=400) tabview.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

button = ct.CTkButton(root, text="take screenshot", command=lambda: screenshot_frame(root, "screenshots")) button.pack() ToolTip(button, "hey, I can take screenshots.")

Add tabs

tab1 = tabview.add_tab("Home", button_style="circular")#button styles [circular, regular] ct.CTkLabel(tab1, text="This is the Home tab").pack(pady=20)

tab2 = tabview.add_tab("Settings") ct.CTkLabel(tab2, text="This is the Settings tab").pack(pady=20)

tab3 = tabview.add_tab("About") ct.CTkLabel(tab3, text="This is the About tab").pack(pady=20)

frame = ct.CTkFrame(tab1) frame.pack(padx=20, pady=20, fill="both", expand=True)

Appears on left click and displays a group of options

options = OptionList(frame)

Adds a label to the widget, also takes in a font argument

options.add_label("File Options")

#add buttons, buttons also take in argument like hover and color options.add_button("Open", command=lambda: print("open clicked")) options.add_button("Delete", color="red", command=lambda: print("delete clicked")) options.add_button("Restore", command=lambda: print("restore clicked")) lab = ct.CTkLabel(tab3) lab.pack()

A password entry with show and hide

p = PasswordEntry(tab3, password_hide_text="hide", password_show_text="show") p.pack()

A circular button

CircleButton(tab2, text="Click me", command=lambda: StkFileDialog(root, "just testing")).pack(pady=20)

#a clickable label, can be used for links or anything of the sort ClickableLabel(tab3, text="This is the About tab", command=lambda :stkmessagebox.showinfo("Info", "This is a messagebox")).pack(pady=20)

Loading animations

Spinner(root).pack(pady=20, expand=True, fill="both") ArcSpinner(root).pack(pady=20, expand=True, fill="both")

btn = ct.CTkButton(tab3, text="testing layout and drag") btn2 = ct.CTkButton(tab3,text="testing layout") btn3 = ct.CTkButton(tab3, text="testing layout")

Arranges widgets in a list, other layouts include:

#layouts.WeightedGridLayout #layouts.VerticalListLayout #layouts.GridLayout layouts.ListLayout([btn, btn2, btn3])

Makes widgets draggable

DraggableWidget( btn, constrain_to_parent=False #detemines if the widget should be constrained to its parent/master )

root.mainloop()
