CustomTkinter is a Python UI library built on Tkinter that provides modern, fully customizable widgets with light/dark appearance modes and HighDPI scaling. It works alongside standard Tkinter widgets and delivers a consistent look across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Use cases

  • build a modern desktop gui in python
  • create dark mode tkinter apps
  • make tkinter look modern
  • build cross-platform desktop apps with python
  • add highdpi scaling to tkinter apps
  • create themed widgets for python desktop tools

When to choose

  • you want a modern look for a Python desktop app without leaving Tkinter
  • you need light/dark theme support and HighDPI scaling on Windows and macOS
  • you want to mix custom widgets with existing Tkinter code

When to avoid

  • you need GPU-accelerated or web-based UIs
  • you are building mobile or web applications
  • you need a very large widget ecosystem or complex data grids beyond Tkinter's capabilities
