Usage

import tkinter as tk
from ttkbootstrap_icons_devicon import DevIcon

root = tk.Tk()

py = DevIcon("python", size=24, color="#3776AB", style="plain")
re = DevIcon("react", size=24, color="#61dafb", style="original")

tk.Button(root, image=py.image, text="Python", compound="left").pack()
tk.Button(root, image=re.image, text="React", compound="left").pack()

root.mainloop()

This package registers a provider entry point, so the base icon previewer will automatically discover it.

Generate assets (developer)

Use the bundled tool to fetch the TTF and produce glyphmap.json with readable names from upstream CSS/metadata:

# Use preset (pulls TTF, devicon.min.css/devicon-base.css, and devicon.json)
ttkicons-devicon-build --preset devicon

# Or specify sources directly
ttkicons-devicon-build \
  --font-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devicons/devicon/master/fonts/devicon.ttf \
  --css-url  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devicons/devicon/master/devicon.min.css \
  --meta-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devicons/devicon/master/devicon.json

If CSS/metadata are unavailable, the tool falls back to deriving a glyph map from the TTF (requires fonttools).

Aliases, styles, and convenience names

• Upstream aliases (e.g., original → plain) are expanded based on devicon.json.
• Styles are naming-level variants on a single font: plain, plain-wordmark, original, original-wordmark.
• You can supply either full names (e.g., python-plain) or a base name with a style parameter.
• A convenience alias name → name-plain is added when applicable.
