Changing the colour of the tk.optionmenu widget
Question:
I use this command to create a tk.optionmenu widget but its a grey colour and I want it to be white.
optionmenu = tk.OptionMenu(root,variable,*(variables)).place(x=375, y=175)
How do I change it to the white colour? I’ve tried this but it doesn’t seem to work. Thanks!
optionmenu = tk.OptionMenu(root,variable,*(variables)colour="White").place(x=375, y=175)
Answers:
You can change the background color by doing the following:
optionmenu['menu'].config(bg='red')
Or whatever color you want. You can find a list of colors here
You can inspect further keyword arguements you can configure by doing the following:
print(optionmenu['menu'].keys())
Which will return:
['activebackground', 'activeborderwidth', 'activeforeground', 'background', 'bd', 'bg',
'borderwidth', 'cursor', 'disabledforeground', 'fg', 'font', 'foreground', 'postcommand',
'relief', 'selectcolor', 'takefocus', 'tearoff', 'tearoffcommand', 'title', 'type']
in which file is this .. my menu is light grey with white letters can’t read anything need to change it
