can this library be used in the wxPython gui in any way?

[deeffest]

can this library be used in the wxPython gui in any way? I have a program in wxPython which has a dark interface if you don't count the white frame of the Windows 10/11 window. It doesn't fit in the interface of the program at all and spoils the whole picture. Please, who can help, let me know

@deeffest You can try it on the main window of any python UI library.

import wx
import pywinstyles
app = wx.App()
pywinstyles.apply_style(app, 'dark')
...

Let me know the results :)

maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get this library to install via pip :(

C:\Windows\system32>pip install pywindowstyles
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywindowstyles (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywindowstyles

[Akascape]

@deeffest pip install pywinstyles

[deeffest]

in such case

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Program Files\TESTS\savemashine2.py", line 4, in <module>
    pywinstyles.apply_style(app, 'dark')

@deeffest Ok, I will have to implement a method to detect that UI library.
I will provide the update by tommorow.

@deeffest Ok, I have added the wx-python compatibility. Update the packge first pip install pywinstyles --upgrade

import wx
import pywinstyles

app = wx.App()

frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title='wx-python')
pywinstyles.apply_style(frame, "dark")
frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

[deeffest]

Thank you so much!
Only there is a small problem - when I write frame = MainFrame instead of "frame = wx.Frame" I get an error.
Example:

import wx
import pywinstyles

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        super(MainFrame, self).__init__(parent, title=title)

        self.SetSize((600, 400))
        self.SetPosition((150, 150))
        
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLACK)

        self.Show()

app = wx.App()

frame = MainFrame(parent=None, title='wx-python')
pywinstyles.apply_style(frame, "dark")
frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

error

is there anything you can do about it, or does frame = wx.Frame have to be?

[Akascape]

@deeffest put the line in the mainframe class

pywinstyles.apply_style(self, "dark")

[deeffest]

If you meant it that way, it is unsuccessful

import wx
import pywinstyles

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        super(MainFrame, self).__init__(parent, title=title)

        self.SetSize((600, 400))
        self.SetPosition((150, 150))
        
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLACK)
        
        pywinstyles.apply_style(self, "dark")

        self.Show()

app = wx.App()
frame = MainFrame(parent=None, title='wx-python')
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

@deeffest Umm, I guess my method to detect the window library is not working in this case. Now I have replaced it with try-except method. Please update again, it should work by now.

[deeffest]

Everything works great, thank you very much!
