  • Need help with text alignment
    2 projects | /r/DearPyGui | 29 May 2023
    If it's just to align text in the centre or to the right of a box, you could use a button and, by using theming, hide the fact that it's a button. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111
  • Which GUI module is better in Python? tkinter or PyQt or kivy?
    7 projects | /r/Python | 26 Mar 2023
    Personally, i like PyQt or PySide they have basically everything you need to make a proper app or even simple apps, but there is another DearPyGui this is basically python version of imgui the c++ library, it provides some good customization options and can be used for simple or complex projects too, their discord is also very helpful.

  • What tools are available to begin building a GUI for python?
    2 projects | /r/learnpython | 4 Mar 2023
    I was using PyQt5/PySide which will give you a nice native look but I eventually shifted over to DearPyGui for most of my smaller utilities. Its just faster for me. You will get more options and freedom with PyQt/PySide though and can use QT Designer to design your interfaces pretty easily.

    With regard to structuring the files, I watched a few videos on Model-View-Controller and similar approaches for inspiration. I tried to separate the model, view and controller logic for the GUI and audio functionality, although that may not be 100% possible. It is partly dependent on the libraries that you are using, so your approach may vary. You could check out some of the apps in the Dear PyGui showcase gallery to learn how they structured their files. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

    2 projects | /r/AskProgramming | 14 Jan 2023
    Your requirements are so basic that it can be done with pretty much any Python GUI library. Each framework will have its own logic, so it's up to you to find a framework that suits you. For example, have a look at applications made with Dear PyGui.
