In order to change the color of the cursor, we can specify the insertbackground property by assigning the color of the cursor.ExampleIn this example, we have created the text field and we have changed the color of the cursor by defining the insertbackground property.#Import the tkinter library from tkinter import * #Create an instance of tkinter frame win= Tk() win.geometry("750x250") #Create a text field text= Text(win) text.configure(bg= 'SteelBlue3', insertbackground='red') text.pack() win.mainloop()OutputNow, write something in the text field to see the reflected color of the cursor.

Let us assume that we are creating a tkinter application where two or more widgets are placed using a grid property. We have to add some space between the widgets in order to style their appearance. To provide space in the widgets, we can use padding property, as padding adds space to the outermost part of the widget. In order to add padding, assign the values to padx and pady.Example#Import the required library from tkinter import * #create an instance of tkinter frame win= Tk() win.geometry("750x250") #Create some Button widgets Label(win, text= "New Line Text", font= ('Helvetica 20 bold')).grid(row=0, column=5, ...
Read MoreHow do I give focus to a python Tkinter text widget?

It focuses the widget and makes them active until the termination of the program.ExampleIn the following example, we have created two widgets: an Entry widget and a text widget in the same window. By using the focus_set() method, we will activate the focus on the text widget.#Import tkinter library from tkinter import * from PIL import Image, ImageTk ...
