Two Tkinter Questions

Question

Is it possible to change the color of certain particular bits of text in the entry widget, or does it all have to be the same color?

Is it possible to change the Tk logo in the top right to a different image?

Answer 1

1) No, you cannot change the color of just a part of the text in an entry widget. If you need to do that you can use a Text widget.

From effbot, the best tkinter reference on the web:

When to use the Entry Widget

The entry widget is used to enter text strings. This widget allows the user to enter one line of text, in a single font.

To enter multiple lines of text, use the Text widget.

The Text widget has this capability thanks to the Tag concept see http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/text.htm

2) Yes

 root = Tk()
 root.wm_iconbitmap('my_icon.ico')
 root.mainloop()
