tkinter-icons 5.0.0

Font-based icons for Tkinter — 61,000+ icons across sixteen sets, one import, no image files to manage.

Install

One line puts a full icon set in your project:

pip install "tkinter-icons[material]"

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

from tkinter_icons import MaterialIcon

root = tk.Tk()

home = MaterialIcon("home", size=24, color="#0F766E")
ttk.Button(root, text="Home", image=home.image, compound="left").pack(padx=20, pady=20)

root.mainloop()

The quotes matter — most shells treat unquoted brackets as a glob. Name two packs together as "tkinter-icons[material,simple]".

That is the whole model: one library, sixteen installable icon packs. The base package is the renderer; the glyphs come from the pack you named.

The sixteen packs

bootstrap · devicon · eva · fluent · fluent-regular · fontawesome · google-material · ionicons · lucide · material · meteocons · remix · rpg-awesome · simple · typicons · weather

Sizes, styles, and glyph counts for each: the packs page.

What you get

• One API across every pack. Each pack's class takes the same (name, size, color, style), so switching sets is a one-line change.
• Sharp at any size. Glyphs are centered on measured ink rather than the font's own bounding box, which under-reports it. Odd sizes snap even; small sizes oversample and downscale.
• No image assets to manage. Size and color are arguments, not files. No icons/ directory, no @2x duplicates, no second set for dark mode.
• Follows your ttk theme. icon.map(widget) tints the icon per widget state and re-renders it when the theme changes.
• An icon browser. Run tkinter-icons to search every installed set and copy the name you need.

Upgrading from ttkbootstrap-icons

This package was published as ttkbootstrap-icons through 4.0.0. Installing that name still works — it is now a forwarding shim — and the migration notes cover what genuinely changed.

License

MIT for the library. Each pack redistributes an upstream icon font under that project's own license, shipped inside the pack; see THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md.
