How to show transparent image in Tkinter.

Question

I was showing a transparent image like logo, but the image transparent area were covered with grey colour. Anything to solve this.

Answer 1

I also have same problem.
What I did is just edited the image and changed image background to match with tkinter background.

(In my case i didn't used any special graphical background for tkinter window, its just only a simple plain color)

Answer 2

You should use canvas widget in tkinter. That explains it very well:

Aleksei Radchenkov thanks.
I tried that method, though I have label and text box in the middle of screen. If I use canvas it would not show image itself.

It's Same As Opacity In CSS!
Opacity Is Transparency Effect...
Opacity Is Always From 0-1

Answer 8

Charan Leo25 , oh ok. But I don't think there is any other way to do that on tkinter. Then maybe use some other library that supports transparent images like wxpython...

Answer 9

Aleksei Radchenkov you know I have wrote 1000 line of code with single class program.
I can't change it through other library in limited time. So I have to scrap the features.
