Make the background of 'Text' widget in tkinter transparent


No, it is not possible to make the background of the text widget transparent.


It is anyway not possible to do so (without canvas), but if you really need it here's a hack:

  • Go to paint
  • Open the image you want and type in the text on it in whatever colour or font you want
  • Set this image as your background in the frame that you want
  • You can then add whatever buttons you want and place them wherever you want.

I know this is inconvenient but sometimes useful.
