ttk Style won't apply to frame in class

just started working with tkinter and i wanted to change the style of the frame but it won't. Can't figure it out so i'm asking you guys.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import font
import currencyapi
class Currency():
def __init__(self, parent):
# App settings
parent.title("CoinyAPP")
icon = PhotoImage(file="icon.png")
parent.iconphoto(False, icon)
parent.eval("tk::PlaceWindow . center")
# Font settings
highlightFont = font.Font(
family='Helvetica', name='appHighlightFont', size=12, weight='bold')
# Widgets
self.frame1 = ttk.Frame(
parent, style="Frame1.TFrame").grid(row=0, column=0)
ttk.Label(self.frame1, text="Pick a base currency.", font=highlightFont).grid(
row=0, column=0, padx=48, pady=20)
ttk.Label(self.frame1, text="Pick currency to convert into.", font=highlightFont).grid(
row=0, column=2, padx=18, pady=20)
self.amount = StringVar()
currencyAmount = ttk.Entry(self.frame1, textvariable=self.amount)
currencyAmount.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=40)
self.baseCurrency = StringVar()
base = ttk.Combobox(self.frame1, textvariable=self.baseCurrency, justify='center',
values=list(currencyapi.currencyData['rates'].keys()))
base.grid(row=1, column=0)
base.current(46)
self.convertInto = StringVar()
convert = ttk.Combobox(self.frame1, textvariable=self.convertInto, justify='center',
values=list(currencyapi.currencyData['rates'].keys()))
convert.grid(row=1, column=2)
convert.current(0)
ttk.Button(self.frame1, command=self.currency_convertion,
text='Convert!').grid(row=2, column=1, padx=40, pady=15)
self.result = StringVar()
ttk.Label(self.frame1, font=highlightFont,
textvariable=self.result).grid(row=3, column=1, pady=5)
def currency_convertion(self, *args):
self.conv = currencyapi.currencyData['rates'].get(
self.convertInto.get())
self.amountNumber = self.amount.get()
self.base = currencyapi.currencyData['rates'].get(
self.baseCurrency.get())
Ans = (float(self.conv) * float(self.amountNumber)) / float(self.base)
self.result.set("%.2f" % Ans)
root = Tk()
s = ttk.Style()
s.configure("Frame1.TFrame", background='yellow',
foreground='blue')
Currency(root)
root.mainloop()
It's probably not very well written, sorry for that! Started programming few weeks ago.
Tried to put it into Currency class and outside, both didn't work.

It's possible that the problem is here:
self.frame1 = ttk.Frame(parent, style="Frame1.TFrame").grid(row=0, column=0)
The geometry manager methods (pack, grid, place) return None, so self.frame1 is evaluating to None
To fix this, declare your frame and then put it on the grid separately:
self.frame1 = ttk.Frame(parent, style="Frame1.TFrame")
self.frame1.grid(row=0, column=0)
That said, I put together a quick boilerplate app to test this and it seemed to work without issues...
"""Tkinter Boilerplate App Example"""
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
class App(tk.Tk):
def __init__(self):
super.__init__()
self.geometry('200x200')
self.title('Stylish')
self.frame = ttk.Frame(self, style='Frame1.TFrame')
self.frame.pack(expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH) # fill available space
self.style = ttk.Style()
# note: 'foreground' doesn't appear to have any effect on a Frame
self.style.configure('Frame1.TFrame', background='pink', foreground='red')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = App()
app.mainloop()

Can't seem to change the window background colour in tkinter

Here is my code so far for a GUI I am making in tkinter, I have attempted to change the background colour of the window but it doesn't seem to work.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.font import Font
class Window(Frame):
def __init__(self, master = None):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.master = master
self.init_window()
def init_window(self):
self.master.title("Main Menu")
self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
videoButton = Button(self, text="Video Mode", font=helv18, bg="white", height=1, width=18)
videoButton.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.35, anchor=CENTER)
timelapseButton = Button(self, text="Time-lapse Mode", font=helv18, bg="white", height=1, width=18)
timelapseButton.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.6, anchor=CENTER)
root = Tk()
helv18 = Font(family='Helvetica', size=18, weight='bold')
root.config(bg='black')
root.geometry("480x320")
root.resizable(0, 0)
app = Window(root)
root.mainloop()

python pass variable tkinter

I'm new im Python, just started to learn about class and tkinter, so forgive me "messy" code.
I'm trying to enter some string to field nr1, and after click a button, print this string in console and store this value for later:
from tkinter import Tk, BOTH, RIGHT, RAISED, BOTTOM, TOP, X, StringVar
from tkinter.ttk import Frame, Button, Entry
class AD(Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
Frame.__init__(self, parent, v=None, raw_input=None)
self.parent = parent
self.parent.geometry("250x150+300+300")
self.parent.title("Trolollo")
self.parent.resizable(False, False)
self.inp = None
self.v = StringVar()
self.raw_input = None
self.initUI()
def user_input(self):
global inp
a = self.raw_input(self.v.get())
inp = a
return inp
def initUI(self):
self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=True)
frame = Frame(self, relief=RAISED, borderwidth=0)
frame.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=True)
self.entry1 = Entry(frame, textvariable=self.v)
self.entry1.pack(side=TOP, fill=X, expand=False, padx=2, pady=2)
self.entry1.focus_set()
rename_button = Button(frame, text="Dispaly text", command = self.user_input())
rename_button.pack(side=TOP, expand=False, padx=2, pady=2)
entry2 = Entry(frame)
entry2.pack(side=TOP, fill=X, expand=False, padx=2, pady=2)
quit_button = Button(self, text="Quit", command=self.quit)
quit_button.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
ok_button = Button(self, text="OK")
ok_button.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
def main():
root = Tk()
app = AD(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
After executing code, i get:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
Any help would me appreciated

ISSUES:
First issue laid in your rename_button's option "command=self.user_input()". You were suppose to name the function
and not execute the function. Putting the () symbol meant you
executed the function when your code loaded, i.e. it executed once
w/o pressing the rename button.
Second issue was the erroneous code in your function user_input. This caused your error msg.
ANSWER: Code with the suggested corrections.

How to pack properly in this Tkinter script?

I'm learning about Tkinter and trying to create a normal looking chat style window. However, when resizing the window there are some unexpected results, such as a gray frame appearing between the items, despite setting expand=1.
Also how can I set it so the space is shared when resizing the window to be smaller than the original?
Here is my code:
from Tkinter import *
class Example(Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
Frame.__init__(self, parent)
self.parent = parent
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
frame = Frame(self, relief=RAISED, borderwidth=1)
scrollbar = Scrollbar(self)
scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
self.msgfield = Text(self, wrap=WORD, yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
self.msgfield.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
self.msgfield.config(state=DISABLED)
self.inputbox = Text(self, height=2, width=30)
self.inputbox.pack(fill=BOTH, side=BOTTOM, expand=0)
self.inputbox.bind('<Return>', self.retrieve_input)
frame.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1, side=BOTTOM)
self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1, side=TOP)
def retrieve_input(self, event):
msg = self.inputbox.get(1.0, END)[:-1]
self.msgfield.config(state=NORMAL)
self.msgfield.insert(END, msg)
self.msgfield.see(END) # Scroll if necessary
self.msgfield.config(state=DISABLED)
self.inputbox.delete(0.0, END)
def main():
root = Tk()
root.geometry("300x400+300+300")
app = Example(root)
root.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

The issue is that you are packing both your msgfield and inputbox into self instead of frame, and self is the Tk instance which acts a bit different than a Frame. Try packing into your frame and I think you'll get the behaviour you want (note I added a black border to the Text widget so I could see it):
from Tkinter import *
class Example(Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
Frame.__init__(self, parent)
self.parent = parent
frame = Frame(self, relief=RAISED, borderwidth=1)
scrollbar = Scrollbar(self)
scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
self.msgfield = Text(frame, wrap=WORD, yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)
self.msgfield.pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)
self.msgfield.config(state=DISABLED)
self.inputbox = Text(frame, height=2, width=30, borderwidth=2)
self.inputbox.config(highlightbackground="Black")
self.inputbox.pack(fill=BOTH, side=BOTTOM, expand=0)
self.inputbox.bind('<Return>', self.retrieve_input)
frame.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1, side=BOTTOM)
self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
def retrieve_input(self, event):
msg = self.inputbox.get(1.0, END)[:-1]
self.msgfield.config(state=NORMAL)
self.msgfield.insert(END, msg)
self.msgfield.see(END) # Scroll if necessary
self.msgfield.config(state=DISABLED)
self.inputbox.delete(0.0, END)
def main():
root = Tk()
root.geometry("300x400+300+300")
app = Example(root)
app.mainloop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Tkinter custom frame not working

I'm trying to create a custom frame in tkinter, Python v2.7. I have done this just fine once (a frame with a scrollbar), but my second attempt isn't working. I compare it to the Frame that does work, and I can't understand what I have done differently.
What I want is a frame that has a little separator line underneath it, so I'm creating a "normal" frame, a thin frame to use as a separator under it, and a bigFrame to hold it.
Everything I create in the class works, except the frame itself. Hopefully my comments explain what is and isn't showing.
from Tkinter import *
class FunFrame(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, lbl, **kwargs):
self.bigFrame = Frame(master)
Frame.__init__(self, self.bigFrame, width=280, height=200, bg="red", **kwargs)
self.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=3) #this is in bigFrame, and doesn't display
#however the padding is still respected
self.separator = Frame(self.bigFrame, height=2, bd=1, width=280, relief = SUNKEN)
self.separator.grid(row=1, column=0) #this is in bigFrame, and displays
self.l = Label(self, text=lbl) #this is in self and doesn't display
self.l.grid(row=0, column=0)
def grid(self, **kwargs):
self.bigFrame.grid(**kwargs)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root=Tk()
Frame1=FunFrame(root, "hello")
Frame2=FunFrame(root, "world")
Frame1.grid(row=0, column=0)
Frame2.grid(row=1, column=0)
root.mainloop()

If you call self.grid in __init__, it calls your own grid, not Tkinter's version.
Try following (renamed grid to grid_):
from Tkinter import *
class FunFrame(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, lbl, **kwargs):
self.bigFrame = Frame(master)
Frame.__init__(self, self.bigFrame, width=280, height=200, bg="red", **kwargs)
self.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=3)
self.separator = Frame(self.bigFrame, height=2, bd=1, width=280, relief=SUNKEN)
self.separator.grid(row=1, column=0)
self.l = Label(self, text=lbl)
self.l.grid(row=0, column=0)
def grid_(self, **kwargs): ######## grid -> grid_
self.bigFrame.grid(**kwargs)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root=Tk()
Frame1 = FunFrame(root, "hello")
Frame2 = FunFrame(root, "world")
Frame1.grid_(row=0, column=0) ######## grid -> grid_
Frame2.grid_(row=1, column=0) ######## grid -> grid_
root.mainloop()
I'd rather code as follow (if '....' was used to represent hierarchy visually):
from Tkinter import *
class FunFrame(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, lbl, **kwargs):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
if 'inside outer frame (self)':
innerFrame = Frame(self, width=280, height=200, bg="red", **kwargs)
innerFrame.grid(row=0, column=0, pady=3)
if 'inside inner frame':
self.l = Label(innerFrame, text=lbl)
self.l.grid(row=0, column=0)
separator = Frame(self, height=2, bd=1, width=280, relief=SUNKEN)
separator.grid(row=1, column=0)
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
Frame1 = FunFrame(root, "hello")
Frame2 = FunFrame(root, "world")
Frame1.grid(row=0, column=0)
Frame2.grid(row=1, column=0)
root.mainloop()
