[undone drum]

Hmm

Even idk that tbh it works if you add others

Iirc

I usually just use pack so idk

[faint hearth]

Kk thx for trying

[obtuse steeple]

This is because tkinter is smart enough to know that there isn't anything in the other rows/columns so it compacts them. Same thing happens when you run the code on desktop.

Thx so what should I do if u know

For the Guy in the video it worked

[obtuse steeple]

Well what are you trying to accomplish? Just having a bunch of empty space around the label?

[faint hearth]

[obtuse steeple]

Why not use padding then?

[faint hearth]

Lowkey dont know what is theth

I whachd I tut just for this

[obtuse steeple]

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

my_label = Label(root, text="Hello")
my_label.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=20, pady=20)
my_button = Button(root, text="Click me")
my_button.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=20, pady=20)
input_field = Entry(root)
input_field.grid(row=2, column=0, padx=20, pady=20)

root.mainloop()

Yoo u cooked

Im finna cry

Haha

Im gonna ask chatgpt

[obtuse steeple]

As long as you understand the code it creates. But if you're still learning how everything works in tkinter I wouldn't learn that way.

[faint hearth]

Yeah

I wont just copy paste

I wouldnt understand anything

[green dock]

Are you trying to center this stuff?

You need to set the column expander

You can set column and row weights, or you can use sticky= for this

[obtuse steeple]

Isn't not specifying sticky centering by default though?

[quick thunder]

Use rowconfigure and columnconfigure and set weights. I think it forces rescaling as well as (re)poistioning

[faint hearth]

Here is the fix 🙂

Thx for tring
