You can extend tkinter styling with ttkbootstrap. Have a look here: https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/

I've opened up an issue to make the batch data handling easier after considering this problem. https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/issues/121

ttkbootstrap

If you want to see how I'm going out in my project, here's the link: https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/blob/master/src/ttkbootstrap/widgets/meter.py

I'm experimenting with a Meter class that is very customizable. I plan on adding this to the ttkbootstrap library in the future. But for now, you can play around with the code here. Let me know if you have any feedback on features and usage: https://github.com/israel-dryer/ttkbootstrap/issues/34#issuecomment-830833271

Ok, now I know how well you know tkinter, your ttkbootstrap is awesome!

and for a quick overview of other GUI solutions: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/gui.html (Gtk4, Qt4 and 5, LispWorks' CAPI (incl. for mobile runtimes), IUP…)

I have been pleasantly surprised lately to discover surprisingly nice-looking Tk themes (like https://github.com/rdbende/Forest-ttk-theme). We can use them from CL too, with the nodgui library :) (see link)

For the web, CL & HTMX work well too.

Styling is hard(ish) - compared with CSS, or XAML, it is relatively difficult to style. What seems to work best are using the pre-built themes e.g. forest-dark/forest-light.(https://github.com/rdbende/Forest-ttk-theme) Even with the advent of ttk, there is no common way to style elements. As far as I could tell, this theme e.g. used pngs, there was no way to override individual style elements without actually modifying the underlying style. Ttk styles do help a lot, (I managed a half-way decent pastel-color theme, the issue was with more nitpicky styling management, there are no good defaults), but they are not enough.
