✨ Stukk — Modern Tkinter UI (Fork of CustomTkinter)

Stukk is a fork of CustomTkinter, a modern UI library for Python’s Tkinter. This project continues to offer fully customizable, modern widgets with light/dark theme support and HighDPI scaling.

Stukk introduces improvements, bug fixes, and a modernized configuration with focus on maintainability and ongoing development.

🆕 Changes introduced in Stukk

For details on changes and improvements introduced in this fork, please refer to the CHANGELOG.

---

🚀 Installation

pip install stukk

The package installs as stukk, but you still import it as:

import customtkinter

To set up the development environment, follow the instructions in project-setup.md.

---

🔭 Future plans

• Additional bug fixes inherited from the original project.
• Introduction of new features and enhancements.

---

📚 Documentation

You can refer to the official CustomTkinter documentation, since Stukk is currently API-compatible.

---

🧪 Basic Example

import customtkinter

customtkinter.set_appearance_mode("System")  # system (default), light, dark
customtkinter.set_default_color_theme("blue")  # blue (default), dark-blue, green

app = customtkinter.CTk()
app.geometry("400x240")

def button_function():
    print("button pressed")

button = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=app, text="CTkButton", command=button_function)
button.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=customtkinter.CENTER)

app.mainloop()

📸 Screenshots and Examples

The following images and videos are from the original project and still apply to Stukk.

Appearance mode change and scaling change

CustomTkinter can adapt to the Windows 10/11 light or dark mode:

| complex_example.py on Windows 11 with system appearance mode change and standard 'blue' theme

On macOS you either need python3.10 or higher or the anaconda python version to get a dark window header (Tcl/Tk >= 8.6.9 required):

| complex_example.py on macOS with system appearance mode change, user-scaling change and standard 'blue' theme

Button with images

It's possible to put an image on a CTkButton. You just have to pass a PhotoImage object to the CTkButton with the image argument. If you want no text at all you have to set text="" or you specify how to position the text and image at once with the compound option:

| image_example.py on Windows 11

Scrollable Frames

Scrollable frames are possible in vertical or horizontal orientation and can be combined with any other widgets. | scrollable_frame_example.py on Windows 11

Integration of TkinterMapView widget

In the following example I used a TkinterMapView which integrates well with a CustomTkinter program. It's a tile based map widget which displays OpenStreetMap or other tile based maps:
