02 Simple Style Changes

Query

Each enquiry relies on the information gained from the previous enquiry. Once the queries are set up with an interactive session using Style() you may be able to short circuit one or more steps.

Finding out the Element

Using named elements we can change the colours, width, font and relief of our widget. Instead of using property options on each widget, we use the Style module together with relevant component and element names. The first task is to determine the relevant component and element names of our widget.

The sequence of the queries to find out the elements and their properties is as follows:

--> 1 Widget name
--> 2 class name (widget.winfo_class)
--> 3 component name (Style.layout)
--> 4 element name (Style.element_options)
--> 5 element value (Style.lookup)
