OS: Linux - Ubantu
Image I have used: It was originally .ico but I converted online to .xbm
I tried different images and different websites but nothing seems to work
Code:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
root = Tk()
root.title("B")
root.iconbitmap('#/home/zaki/Pictures/mar.xbm')
root.mainloop()
The window appears normally but without icon
Try to use the iconphoto() method.
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
img = PhotoImage(file="image.png") # Replace "image.png" with any image file.
root.iconphoto(False, img)
root.mainloop()
Works on Ubuntu 18.04 with Python 3.6.

I am using Python 3.5.0 on Windows 10 and want to replace this:
To change the icon you should use iconbitmap or wm_iconbitmap I'm under the impression that the file you wish to change it to must be an ico file.
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.iconbitmap("myIcon.ico")
If you haven't an icon.ico file you can use an ImageTk.PhotoImage(ico) and wm_iconphoto.
import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = tk.Tk()
ico = Image.open('test.jpg')
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(ico)
root.wm_iconphoto(False, photo)
root.mainloop()
Note:
If default is True, this is applied to all future created toplevels as
well. The data in the images is taken as a snapshot at the time of
invocation.
Detailed implementations under different OS:
On Windows, the images are packed into a Windows icon structure. This
will override an ico specified to wm iconbitmap, and vice versa.
On X, the images are arranged into the _NET_WM_ICON X property, which
most modern window managers support. A wm iconbitmap may exist
simultaneously. It is recommended to use not more than 2 icons,
placing the larger icon first.
On Macintosh, this sets the Dock icon with the specified image.

Supported formats since TkVersion 8.6 of tk.PhotoImage(filepath):
PNG
GIF
PPM/PGM
Therefore code can be simplified with a .png file to:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
photo = tk.PhotoImage(file = 'test.png')
root.wm_iconphoto(False, photo)
root.mainloop()
input for tkinter
from tkinter import *
app = Tk()
app.title('Tk')
app.geometry('')
app.iconbitmap(r'C:\Users\User\PycharmProjects\HelloWorld\my.ico')
app.mainloop()
input for pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile -w -F --add-binary "my.ico;." my.py
Here is another solution, wich doesn't force you to use an ico file :
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry("200x200")
root.iconphoto(False, tk.PhotoImage(file='C:\\Users\\Pc\\Desktop\\icon.png'))
root.mainloop()
You must not have favicon.ico in the same directory as your code or namely on your folder. Put in the full Pathname. For examples:
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.iconbitmap(r'c:\Python32\DLLs\py.ico')
root.mainloop()
This will work
If you are using CustomTkinter:
app.wm_iconbitmap('yt.ico')
CustomTkinter documentation
from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.title('how to put icon ?')
root.iconbitmap('C:\Users\HP\Desktop\py.ico')
root.mainloop()
Here's another way via Tcl command:
import tkinter as tk
window=tk.Tk()
window.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', win._w, tk.PhotoImage(file=r"my_icon.png"))
window.mainloop()
I have tried for several days to get an image displaying using the following code.
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
#This creates the main window of an application
window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Join")
window.geometry("300x300")
window.configure(background='grey')
path = "Aaron.jpg"
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(path))
panel = tk.Label(window, image = img)
#The Pack geometry manager packs widgets in rows or columns.
panel.pack(side = "bottom", fill = "both", expand = "yes")
#Start the GUI
window.mainloop()
The code is originally from this link.
How do I insert a JPEG image into a python Tkinter window?
When I run the code with my own path I get the following error messages
Python quit unexpectedly warning
and then:
The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically.

This is my first question on stackoverflow so please excuse any formatting errors. I will try to correct if there is an issue. I've also tried many version of code that is similar with the same result. This only happens with this specific code.
Well I have this:
import tkinter
gui = tkinter.Tk()
gui.iconbitmap(default='/home/me/PycharmProjects/program/icon.ico')
gui.mainloop()`
But when I run I get an error saying
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/spencer/PycharmProjects/xMinecraft/GUI.py", line 17, in <module>
gui.iconbitmap(default='/home/me/PycharmProjects/program/icon.ico')
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1638, in wm_iconbitmap
return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, '-default', default)
_tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm iconbitmap window ?bitmap?"`
I'm trying to use tkinter to set a window I've made's icon. I'm using Pycharm installed on ubuntu 13.10. I've tried various things from changing '/' to '\' and adding a Z:// to the front because that's my partition's name. But I still get the error so please help.
You need to either specify the path as the first positional argument, or use the keyword argument "bitmap". It's rather poorly documented, but the bitmap argument is required; you can't just give the default keyword argument. In fact, the bitmap keyword argument has been removed in python 3.
However, you can only use .ico files on windows. On ubuntu and other linux boxes you need to use a .xbm file, and need to prefix it with "#"
This should work on windows only:
gui.iconbitmap('/home/me/PycharmProjects/program/icon.ico')
On ubuntu, it would need to be something like this:
gui.iconbitmap('#/home/me/PyCharmProjets/program/icon.xbm')
You can't just rename a .ico file to .xbm, they are completely different file formats.
Interesting bit of research
png, svg, ico didn't work
I found one xbm on my machine (xubuntu - Linux dist) , thanks to sqlitemanager
tool.xbm
note the # - the code is a modification of Lutz "Programming Python" Chapter 1, tkinter103.py
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo
def reply(name):
showinfo(title='Reply', message='Hello %s!' % name)
top = Tk()
#img = PhotoImage(file='py-blue-trans-out.ico') #no
top.title('Echo')
top.iconbitmap('#tool.xbm') #yes
#top.iconphoto(True, PhotoImage(file='tool.xbm')) #no
Label(top, text="Enter your name:").pack(side=TOP)
ent = Entry(top)
ent.pack(side=TOP)
btn = Button(top, text="Submit", command=(lambda: reply(ent.get())))
btn.pack(side=LEFT)
top.mainloop()
Still in 2018 a high Rank google question.
what works for me in python3
is to use ico in Windows and gif in Linux :
if ( sys.platform.startswith('win')):
gui.iconbitmap('logo_Wicon.ico')
else:
logo = PhotoImage(file='logo.gif')
gui.call('wm', 'iconphoto', gui._w, logo)
There are two ways,
1) use xbm file in ubuntu as ubuntu will not able to read ico files. but issue here is xbm can display only black and white images.
2) use tkinter.photoimage to display icon image like below,
img = PhotoImage(file='your-icon')
root.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', root._w, img)
issue here is photoimage can read only GIF and PGM/PPM images.
see details here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/11180300
To display colored icons in linux you need to do it as shown below:
import tkinter
window = tkinter.Tk()
window.title("My Application")
img = tkinter.PhotoImage(file='~/pharmapos/pharmapos.png')
window.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', window._w, img)
window.mainloop()
I had to convert to an XBM format and use the following root.iconbitmap('#imagename.xbm') however my platform is Ubuntu and I discovered my os theme has no spot for he image....
this worked for me in linux mint:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
main_fn=Tk()
log= Image.open("path_to_image.ico")
logo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(log)
main_fn.tk.call('wm', 'iconphoto', main_fn._w, logo)
main_fn.mainloop()
We can use iconphoto on linux. Colored icon works well too. You can use .png files. The .ico file can be converted using 'convert' utility.
convert icon.ico icon.png
First create a PhotoImage widget:
icon = tkinter.PhotoImage(file='icon.png')
Then use iconphoto to change the icon:
root = Tk()
root.iconphoto(False, icon)
Reference: Please have a look at this link
import tkinter
gui = tkinter.Tk()
gui.iconbitmap()
gui.mainloop()
In place of gui.iconbitmap(default='/home/me/PycharmProjects/program/icon.ico') i used gui.iconbitmap() this just works for me.
I need to add an image to the canvas. I have tried countless amounts of things, and finally decided to make a question on here.
This is what I have imported
from Tkinter import *
import tkFont
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
And this is the line of code I'm trying to add to import an image from the same folder the main file is in.
c.create_image(100,100, anchor=N, image = ghost.jpg)
I've also tried putting ""s around 'ghost.jpg' and it says the Image does not exist then. Without the quotes it says "global name 'ghost' does not exist."
Can anyone help?
Canvas.create_image's image argument
should be a PhotoImage or BitmapImage, or a
compatible object (such as the PIL's PhotoImage). The application must
keep a reference to the image object.
from Tkinter import *
"""python 2.7 =Tkinter"""
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
app = Tk()
temp=Image.open("photo.jpg")
temp = temp.save("photo.ppm","ppm")
photo = PhotoImage(file = "photo.ppm")
imagepanel=Label(app,image = photo)
imagepanel.grid()
app.mainloop()
This is a bit of code I wrote in python 2.7 with Tkinter and PIL to import a jpg file from a given directory, this doesn't pop up off the screen.
You should replace photo with the file name (and directory) and app with the relevant variable you set.
I want to set an image in my GUI application built on Python Tk package.
I tried this code:
root.iconbitmap('window.xbm')
but it gives me this:
root.iconbitmap('window.xbm')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1567, in wm_iconbitmap
return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, bitmap)
_tkinter.TclError: bitmap "window.xbm" not defined
Can anyone help?
You want to use wm iconphoto. Being more used to Tcl/Tk than Python Tkinter I don't know how that is exposed to you (maybe root.iconphoto) but it takes a tkimage. In Tcl/Tk:
image create photo applicationIcon -file application_icon.png
wm iconphoto . -default applicationIcon
In Tk 8.6 you can provide PNG files. Before that you have to use the TkImg extension for PNG support or use a GIF. The Python PIL package can convert images into TkImage objects for you though so that should help.
EDIT
I tried this out in Python as well and the following worked for me:
import Tkinter
from Tkinter import Tk
root = Tk()
img = Tkinter.Image("photo", file="appicon.gif")
root.tk.call('wm','iconphoto',root._w,img)
Doing this interactively on Ubuntu resulted in the application icon (the image at the top left of the frame and shown in the taskbar) being changed to use my provided gif image.
This worked for me
from tkinter import *
raiz=Tk()
raiz.title("Estes es el titulo")
img = Image("photo", file="pycharm.png")
raiz.tk.call('wm','iconphoto',raiz._w, img)
raiz.mainloop()
Try this:
root.iconbitmap('#window.xbm')
And quote:
Set (get) the icon bitmap to use when this window is iconified. This method are ignored by some window managers (including Windows).
Note that this method can only be used to display monochrome icons. To display a color icon, put it in a Label widget and display it using the iconwindow method instead.
