## What it is
ttkbootstrap is a theming extension for tkinter that applies Bootstrap-inspired flat themes to ttk widgets via a single bootstyle keyword. It ships 30 light/dark themes, extra widgets like Meter and DateEntry, and a declarative API for building custom themes.

## Use cases
- make tkinter apps look modern
- add dark mode to a python desktop app
- style ttk widgets with bootstrap-like colors
- build a cross-platform python gui quickly
- find themed tkinter widgets like date picker or meter
- create custom themes for tkinter

## When to choose
- you're building a desktop app with tkinter/ttk and want modern styling without switching frameworks
- you want runtime-switchable light and dark themes
- you want a pure-Python dependency-light GUI styling layer

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI framework with layout and event systems beyond tkinter
- you're building web or mobile apps
- you need GPU-accelerated or highly custom-drawn UIs
