How to set default background colour tkinter
If you want to get the default background at runtime, you can use the cget method. This may return a color name rather than an rgb value.
import Tkinter as tkroot = tk.Tk()bg = root.cget("background")# eg: 'systemWindowBody'You can convert that to a tuple of the red, green and blue components
rgb = root.winfo_rgb(bg)# eg: (65535, 65535, 65535)You can then format the value as a hex string if you wish:
color = "#%x%x%x" % rgb# eg: '#ffffffffffff'To reset the background after changing it, save the value, and then use the value with the configure command:
original_background = root.cget("background")...root.configure(background=original_background)
Another option is just to clear the background setting.For example
import Tkinter as tkroot = tk.Tk()lbl_status = ttk.Label(root, width=20, text="Some Text")lbl_status['background'] = 'yellow' # Set background to yellowlbl_status['background'] = '' # Reset it to system default
