@IOUnix@fosstodon.org I haven't, and their website isn't super clear on what it offers, how their widgets are better than the standard Tk ones. I'm always hesitant to add dependencies unless there's a significant advantage, since it makes it harder for people to re-use my code. What's the big advantage here? Do you know?

@akkana@fosstodon.org yeah. I actually started playing with tkinter a few months ago and almost immediately jumped to custom tkinter. The biggest advantage is that your UI doesn't look like 1995 anymore. Lol beyond that there's so many slick mechanisms, menus, and options that really clean things up. It's actually just built on the back of tkinter so it works the exact same. You just call "customtk" instead of "tkinter" when using it.
