Requirements

Python 3.x
tkinter library (usually included with Python)
Pillow library for handling images

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git

Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd your-repo-name
```
Install the required packages:
```
pip install Pillow
```

Usage

Place your icon image: Ensure you have an icon image named icon.png in the same directory as the script. This image will be used as the window icon.
Run the script:
```
python your_script_name.py
```
Replace your_script_name.py with the name of your Python script file.

Code Explanation

The main components of the script are:

Imports:
- tkinter for creating the GUI.
- datetime for getting the current date and time.
- PIL (Pillow) for handling images.
```
import tkinter as tk
from datetime import datetime
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
```

Update Time Function:

This function gets the current date and time and updates the labels.
It also schedules itself to run again after 1 second (1000 milliseconds).

def update_time():
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M:%S')
    current_date = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    time_label.config(text=current_time)
    date_label.config(text=current_date)
    root.after(1000, update_time)

Creating the Main Window:

Initializes the main window.
Sets the window title, size, and icon.

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Date and Time")
root.geometry("600x250")
image = Image.open('icon.png') 
icon = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
root.iconphoto(False, icon)

Labels for Time and Date:

Creates and packs the labels for displaying the time and date.

label = tk.Label(root, bg='white')
label.pack()
time_label = tk.Label(label, font=('Kanit', 80), fg='black', bg='white')
time_label.pack(pady=20)
date_label = tk.Label(label, font=('Kanit', 24), fg='black', bg='white')
date_label.pack(pady=0)

Initial Update and Main Loop:
- Calls the update_time function to start the update cycle.
- Starts the main loop of the tkinter window.
```
root.configure(bg='white')
update_time()
root.mainloop()
```

Customization

Change Font: You can change the font and size of the time and date labels by modifying the font parameter in the tk.Label definitions.
Change Colors: You can change the foreground and background colors by modifying the fg and bg parameters in the tk.Label definitions.
Window Size: You can adjust the window size by modifying the root.geometry("600x250") line.
