Building a Digital Clock Using Python

In this step, we’ll first outline the window panel utilizing Tkinter package deal. And after that, we’ll outline the textual content design that we wish to use for the digital clock.

Define the Window

As talked about earlier, we’ll use Tkinter package deal. Tkinter is will be outlined as Tk. And after defining it, we’ll customise it.

Understanding the code:

• Defining the Tkinter perform.
• Giving a title to our utility window.
• Defining the dimensions of our video, for instance in my case, it’s 350pixels width to 150pixels top.
• The window just isn’t resizable, as a result of the textual content values are usually not responsive design. And we don’t need our design to look bizarre when the window dimension is modified.

Perfect, our utility window is prepared! Now, let’s work on the clock design.

The Label Design

The cool step of this system is that this one. Because you may put your individual preferences into the design. This step will make your work totally different from others. If you like designing issues, it’s time to point out off your abilities.

There are 4 parts that we are going to customise:

• The font of the digital numbers.
• The background coloration of our digital clock.
• The coloration of the digital numbers, be certain it isn’t the identical coloration as your background. 😉
• The border width of the textual content.

Here are the values that I used for my design:

For colours, be happy to make use of RGB values or hex values. In my case, I used the hex values of the colours. I take advantage of google’s coloration picker that’s accessible on the browser. Just search “Color picker” on google search. And you will note it.

Now, let’s mix the weather and outline our label. Label perform is the textual content that can present our time.

If you wish to be taught extra in regards to the attributes of the Label perform, here is a pleasant web page I discovered.
