Nice! So each of your top buttons (Project, Search, Autocode, etc) is actually a custom widget based on a canvas containing 3 images (manually placed via .create_image) and then manually labeled with text via .create_text)? And your canvas backgroundcolors are set to the backgroundcolor of their parent frame? If I understand your technique, you place everything manually vs. using a layout manager like pack/grid? I noticed your buttons are not all the same width - do you have custom width centre images or is there a way to horizontally stretch an image? (I've looked for this capability without success). Thanks for sharing your technique and screenshot. The screenshot really helped me understand what you're saying.
