How to change background/wallpaper to picture in IDLE python?


I'm trying to change IDLE's background/wallpaper to a picture (not a specific color). Is it even possible? Or should i use something like "JetBrains PyCharm" (if its possible there). Most important for me is customization.

I have googled a lot and i didn't find anything related to changing background to picture. All i have found is how to change colors of text and background.

Any advice would be appreciated.

EDIT: I found how to do it in PyCharm |here|. Im still curious, if you know the answer to original question let me know. Thank you!


Solution

  • Python's IDLE IDE uses the python module tkinter, which interfaces to the tcl/tk graphics framework. While the latter allows optional images for some 'small' widgets, like buttons, it only allows solid color backgrounds for the big widgets.
