I have been looking everywhere for this kind of simple solution and I'm still coming up short.
All I want to do is simply splash some text only onto the screen, without a background or using a "message box" that has a menu bar/buttons with it. Just text, that's all. Maybe with a way to set a color for the font as well as I want the text to be a light gray. Using Windows 10 and Python 3.8+.
I've looked at easygui (message box, uses buttons), PySimpleGUI (best option so far, shown below, but defaults to a white background), Tkinter and pygame (but I have no clue how to set up what I'm looking for with those packages.
This is what I have using PySimpleGui, would love for this to be a transparent background if possible!
def popup_message(message):
sg.popup(str(message),
title = None,
button_color = 'white',
background_color = None,
text_color = 'grey85',#'light gray',
button_type = 5,
auto_close = True,
auto_close_duration = 20,
custom_text = (None, None),
non_blocking = False,
icon = None,
line_width = None,
font = None,
no_titlebar = True,
grab_anywhere = True,
keep_on_top = True,
location = (None, None),
relative_location = (250, 250),
any_key_closes = True,
image = None,
modal = True)
UPDATE
This is the closest thing I've got with using Tkinter. Problem now is the menu bar is still visible, and using the Label class results in a solid background. HOW CAN I ONLY SHOW TEXT ON SCREEN IN PYTHON!? I'm not even sure I'm going about this the right way, but seems like a pretty basic idea?
# Import the Tkinter Library
from tkinter import *
# Create an instance of Tkinter Frame
root = Tk()
# Create a Label to print some text
label = Label(root, text="This is a New Line Text", font= ('Helvetica 14 bold'), foreground= "red3")
label.pack()
# Create a transparent window
root.wm_attributes('-transparentcolor','#add123')
# Set the geometry of window
root.geometry("700x350")
# Add a background color to the Main Window
root.config(bg = '#add123')
root.mainloop()
Transparent background of Text
in popup
is not supported.
New popup function required and defined by yourself in PySimpleGUI.
background_color
of your Text
element to one specified color for transparency, like '#add123'.transparent_color
in Window
to the specified color for transparency.no_titlebar
in Window
to hide the titlebar.Following code show the way
import PySimpleGUI as sg
def popup(message):
global win
if win:
win.close()
layout = [[sg.Text(message, background_color=bg, pad=(0, 0))]]
win = sg.Window('title', layout, no_titlebar=True, keep_on_top=True,
location=(1000, 200), auto_close=True, auto_close_duration=3,
transparent_color=bg, margins=(0, 0))
event, values = win.read(timeout=0)
return win
bg = '#add123'
sg.set_options(font=("Courier New", 24))
layout = [[sg.Button('POPUP')]]
window = sg.Window('title', layout)
win = None
while True:
event, value = window.read()
if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
break
elif event == 'POPUP':
win = popup('Here is the message.')
window.force_focus()
if win:
win.close()
window.close()
