CTk is an amazing project that allows you to build beautiful and modern GUIs for Python. If you want to know more, check the official repo here. I have used CustomTkinter in my project #passman - a password generator and manager built in Python and SQLite3 using Tkinter and CustomTkinter for the GUI.
For this project I needed to add an Option Menu with a custom placeholder text but the original widget doesn't support it - until now!
The mod consists in a few lines of code added to the original widget and a few code changes. If you check the code, all changes will be marked with a sign.
New line added
At LINE 44 I have added placeholder_text: Optional[str] = None,
Lines mod
LINE 77 changed from self._values = [placeholder_text] to LINE 89 self._values = [placeholder_text]
LINE 84 changed from self._current_value = "CTkOptionMenu" to LINE 101 self._current_value = placeholder_text
Yes, I have made a script to make it easy for you to add this feature to your CTk projects! Just run the mod.shscript and it will be installed for you! The script will copy the original file into the folder as a backup in case you want to restore it. It will be copied with the name ctk_optionmenu_original.py. Then it will copy the modified widget into the widgets folder.
