In this article, we are going to write a Python script to change the color of the button in Tkinter. It can be done with two methods:
- Using bg properties.
- Using activebackground properties.
Prerequisite: Creating a button in tkinter, Python GUI – Tkinter
Change the color of the button in Python - Tkinter
Example 1: using bg properties.
If you want to change the background color dynamically after the button has been created, you need to use a method call to change the bg (background color) property.
# Import tkinter module
from tkinter import *
# Function to change button color
def change_color():
button.config(bg='red') # Change the color to red
# Create a tkinter window
master = Tk()
# Open window having dimension 200x100
master.geometry('200x100')
# Create a Button with an initial color
button = Button(master,
text='Submit',
bg='blue',
# Call change_color when the button is clicked
command=change_color)
button.pack()
master.mainloop()
Output:
Example 2: Using activebackground properties.
These properties will change the button background color while clicking the button.
# import tkinter module
from tkinter import *
# create a tkinter window
master = Tk()
# Open window having dimension 200x100
master.geometry('200x100')
# Create a Button
button = Button(master,
text = 'Submit',
bg='white',
activebackground='blue').pack()
master.mainloop()
Output:
