Would you like to have a more native look for your Tkinter application? Are the themes provided in ttkthemes not to your liking?
This package provides a version of gtkTtk,
formerly tilegtk packaged for
usage with Python. Simply follow the installation instructions and all
required files are installed to the site package directory.
These instructions are for Ubuntu, Python 3.5 or higher. Any lower version may work, but is not supported. On other distributions, package names may be different.
# Build Tools
sudo apt install build-essential cmake
# Required Libraries
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev tcl-dev tk-dev
# Required Python packages
python -m pip install scikit-build
python setup.py install Simply import the package, and the theme is loaded automatically.
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
import gttk
window = tk.Tk()
style = ttk.Style()
style.theme_use("gttk")
ttk.Button(window, text="Destroy", command=window.destroy).pack()
window.mainloop()If you encounter an error because you are running in the repository,
directory, make sure to disallow imports from the working directory
before importing gttk:
import sys
sys.path = sys.path[2:]
import gttkgttk should work with any GTK theme you can throw at it, but below
are the themes Yaru and Adwaita as examples.
This repository provides a wrapper around gttk, which is a renamed
version of gtkTtk, which in turn is a renamed version of tile-gtk.
The original tile-gtk is available under hte MIT License. This version
is available only under GNU GPLv3.

tile-gtk, gtkTtk and hence also gttk are far from perfect. You may
encounter various graphical artifacts when using particular themes,
while others work without flaws.
You are welcome to report any issues, and pull requests are even better. Currently the package can only be built for Linux-based systems and attempts to create a process for building on Windows using MSYS and CMake have proven unfruitful. If you would like to give it a go, feel free to contact me.
