Sun-Valley-ttk-theme VS Sun-Valley-ttk-examples

Welp, I have been messing around with a small project using PySimpleGUI using Deepseek to help me learn it. I found a cool project that has a very nice theme for 'ttk' widgets[0] which are supported in PySimpleGUI. Not sure how to proceed... I guess I will use the uncertainty to explore some of these 100% pure python web dev for shits and grins[1].

I've just gotten into Tkinter and I just recently found out about TTK themes. I've been using this theme and I've got a fairly basic program up. I'm making an expense manager program (and it is far from complete) and I need something basic to just test if my program is working. I will be using the theme later on though so this will still be helping as I'm experimenting with the theme and the program at the same time.

Tkinter looks different between operating systems, but I'm not an expert. Perhaps if you specify a ttk.Style or install some 3rd party theme like Sun Valley.

I'm pleased to announce that today I've released a new version of my gorgeous Sun Valley theme, with which you can make your Tkinter/ttk application look like Windows 11.

Anyway, continue to use tkinter unless you have a specific use case for using another designer, and use either CustomTkinter or tkk styles. Here's a basic one which looks pretty much native on win10: https://github.com/rdbende/Sun-Valley-ttk-theme

I used this https://github.com/rdbende/Sun-Valley-ttk-theme

the theme i want to use is "sun valley", available on GitHub

Yes. I have an entire repo of demos for the theme here

In short, unless you have a particular need for functionality that another GUI provides, use tkinter with either TTK themes (https://github.com/rdbende/Sun-Valley-ttk-theme) or Custom Tkinter (https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter).

Tkinter is somewhat limited, compared to other frameworks, but if it's just about looks you can use ttk.Style. The other day u/rdbende posted a custom style here, called Sun Valley. It's awesome and will definitely be part of my next tkinter project.

If you hate the default tkinter look, try out my new theme, and make it look like Windows 11 "Sun Valley"! Go and check it out!
