How to change icon

[AlexsandroRP]

Hey Tom, hello. How can i change the default window icon? I tried a lot of regular tkinter methods
unsuccessfully. Thanks!

Hello,

I had the same issue, I had this "fix" for it:

root.after(201, lambda :root.iconbitmap('C:\\Users\\...\\filename.ico')) instead of root.iconbitmap('C:\\Users\\...\\filename.ico')

I hope someone will provide a better solution

[amezolaMartin]

It worked! Thaks a lot.

What do we do when we inherit a class with self?

[Maaz4226]

@Maaz4226
replace the root with self.window in your case

[Maaz4226]

@Maaz4226 replace the root with self.window in your case

Your code is correct but I wrote a lot of code with self so I wrote this code "self.window.iconbitmap()"

If you use the latest version there should be no problem.

[AlexsandroRP]

@IAminos Thanks a lot, that was the only method that worked!

[Tcrozly]

This issue still effects CTkToplevel, using the suggestion from IAminos solved my issue. thanks!

Has anyone gotten this to cooperate on macOS? I made sure the latest version of CustomTkinter is running. Using the regular app.iconbitmap(PATH_HERE) does not cooperate, nor does the solution presented by IAminos :(

Well, in my example, you need to assume that I am in the context of a class based on CTk(), or CTkTopLevel. So instead of app... I am referencing it as self...

That said, it appears you might be missing a parameter. See here.

@avalon60 We cannot change that default python taskbar icon on windows. But if you compile it to exe, then it will work properly.

[liquidz00]

@avalon60 Going to be honest I hyper-focused on @Akascape 's response and glossed over your reply, I didn't realize you were also using said method.

I'm using classes, both application-specific and inheriting from customtkinter. I originally tried setting that property on self, but the issue persisted. I have since put this to the side as I'm curious to see in testing what PyInstaller can do instead. Thank you though!

[Akascape]

@aspeciale Please try this method: #1099 (comment)

On MacOS I use py2app to set the icon file in my setup.py

setup(
  'app': 'path/to/myscript.py`,
  'options': {
    'py2app': {
      'iconfile': 'my-icon',
  }})

Running python setup.py py2app builds a Mac app bundle. This sets the app icon in the bundle as well as during runtime in the taskbar, window title, etc. I feel this is a stable option.

Note: Don't use conda to build the bundle, use the official distribution from www.python.org.

Try this method:

For root window:

import os
from PIL import ImageTk
...

self.iconpath = ImageTk.PhotoImage(file=os.path.join("assets","logo.png"))
self.wm_iconbitmap()
self.iconphoto(False, self.iconpath)

For toplevels:

self.wm_iconbitmap()
self.after(300, lambda: self.iconphoto(False, self.iconpath))

[liquidz00]

The root window did the trick! Thank you so much @Akascape !

@TomSchimansky Hi Tom , wie kann ich meine GUI 'logo' wechseln mit customtkinter. Es ist unverbesserlich wann ich die Gleiche Logo für Jede Python GUI habe.

[bukdk]

import customtkinter as ctk
import tkinter as tk
import sys
import os
from pathlib import Path
from PIL import ImageTk
from pathlib import Path

class App(ctk.CTkFrame):
def init(self, master):
super().init(master)

    self.master = master

    # Disable the Close Window Control Icon depends on the operating system
    if sys.platform == "linux":
        self.overrideredirect(True)
    elif sys.platform == "darwin":  # OS X
        pass
    else:  # win32
        self.master.protocol("WM_DELETE_WINDOW", self.disable_event)
 
    self.pfad = os.path.dirname(__file__)
    os.chdir(self.pfad)
    self.iconpath = ImageTk.PhotoImage(
        file=os.path.join("resources/images", "logo.ico")
    )
    self.master.wm_iconbitmap()
    self.master.iconphoto(False, self.iconpath)
    # but for a CTkToplevel you have to change self.master.iconphoto(False, self.iconpath) to
    # self.after(300, lambda: self.iconphoto(False, self.iconpath))

    self.create_widgets()

def create_widgets(self):
    '...'

root = ctk.CTk()
root.title("Test App")
root.fg_color = "#161C25"
app = App(root)
root.eval(f"tk::PlaceWindow {str(root)} center")
app.mainloop()

This worked for me (KDK)

[ghost]

Something like this:

# Importing required module
import customtkinter as ctk

# Selecting GUI theme : dark,light , system (for system default)
ctk.set_appearance_mode("system")

# Selecting color theme-blue, green, dark-blue
ctk.set_default_color_theme("dark-blue")

app = ctk.CTk()
app.geometry("400x400")
app.title("Modern Login UI using Customtkinter")
openstack_icon = app.iconbitmap('openstack.ico')

[SphinX2k6]

yes but how do i compile it with pyinstaller

[Haolinc]

yes but how do i compile it with pyinstaller

do something like this to get pyinstaller path:

if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False) and hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'):
        return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, file_name)
    else:
        return os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()), file_name)

then when calling pyinstaller add this piece of command along with rest of your pyinstaller one liner command:
--add-data="your_icon.ico:your_icon.ico"

For who have tried the solutions above, but still have the problem (the solutions only work when you run the code, not when create an exe).

Use this in your code
...wm_iconbitmap("absolute/path/yourico.ico")

Something like that

self.wm_iconbitmap("absolute/path/yourico.ico") # <-- What you want (absolute path)
self.title("Your Application Name")
self.geometry("800x700")     
self.minsize(650, 600)

Save the code and get your customtkinter absolute path lib with
pip show customtkinter

And then, finally put your pyinstaller command:
pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --name "Your Application Name" --windowed --add-data "path/to/Lib/site-packages/customtkinter;customtkinter/" --icon="path/to/yourico.ico" "yourcode.py"

↑ Should work with relative and absolute path
