When you say "I have the extensions," do you mean that you downloaded an extension from the sidebar of VSCode? Or did you download customtkinter via pip or another method?

[digital junco]

Nah I installed the vsc extensions

Apparently there problems with a file of vsc but idk why

[sage cosmos]

you still need to install the customtkinter to use it

https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter

follow the README.md, install via pip and try the Example Program. See if that works

[digital junco]

What is pip exactly ? it's a software?

[sage cosmos]

its a package manager for python

you probably have pip already installed on your computer with a few packages also installed

u can check that with pip list on cmd/powershell

[digital junco]

So I just execute it in vsc ?

oh

[sage cosmos]

you can install inside the folder your workin' on or open a new shell and install. Iam not certain if that installs for whole <User> or only for that folder

can u run pip list? (example of command to test if u have it installed) or do i need to install pip?

[digital junco]

ig its good

[sage cosmos]

yes

u can check its installed using pip list now

you will find it somewhere on that list

[digital junco]

ye it is

[sage cosmos]

import customtkinter

customtkinter.set_appearance_mode("System")  # Modes: system (default), light, dark
customtkinter.set_default_color_theme("blue")  # Themes: blue (default), dark-blue, green

app = customtkinter.CTk()  # create CTk window like you do with the Tk window
app.geometry("400x240")

def button_function():
    print("button pressed")

# Use CTkButton instead of tkinter Button
button = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=app, text="CTkButton", command=button_function)
button.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor=customtkinter.CENTER)

app.mainloop()```

[digital junco]

so now vsc prob should be fixed ?

[sage cosmos]

you can try this code

[sage cosmos]

yes it should work now

i dont know if u have to close and reopen the vscode

[digital junco]
