Last update on April 25 2025 12:57:21 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program that creates a custom combobox widget with a unique dropdown design and custom dropdown items using Tkinter.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk

class ThemedLabel(ttk.Label):
    def __init__(self, master=None, text="", font=("Arial", 12), fg="white", bg="blue", **kwargs):
        super().__init__(master, text=text, **kwargs)
        self.config(
            font=font,      # Set the font
            foreground=fg,  # Set the text color
            background=bg  # Set the background color
        )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title("Themed Label Example")

    # Create a themed label with custom font, text color, and background color
    themed_label = ThemedLabel(root, text="Python Exercises", font=("Helvetica", 16), fg="red", bg="yellow")
    themed_label.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
    themed_label = ThemedLabel(root, text="Java Exercises", font=("Verdana", 14), fg="green", bg="blue")
    themed_label.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
    themed_label = ThemedLabel(root, text="C++ Exercises", font=("Courier ", 12), fg="white", bg="orange")
    themed_label.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
    root.mainloop()

Explanation:

Create a custom ThemedLabel class that inherits from "ttk.Label".
Provide default values for font, text color (foreground), and background color (bg) as parameters.
The label's appearance is configured with the provided font, text color, and background color.
