I understand that Tkinter frames do not have a property that allows their border color to be customized.
Here are some high level ideas I have on how to create a colored border effect - any suggestions on best practice appreciated. 1. Turn off the frame's border. Enclose the frame in a parent frame also without a border. Set the parent frame's background color to the color of the border you want. Make sure the parent frame's layout options (grid/pack) match the inner frame's options. 2. Use a canvas instead of a frame, draw a border using the create_rectangle( ..., fill="<frame backgroundcolor>" ), and then bind to the canvas's <Config>(?) event and to delete and redraw the border every time the canvas resizes. 3. Use a tk.call( ... ) to gain access to the TCL interpreter and its richer set of capabilies? Regarding options 2 and 3: Might there be a way to create non-solid border styles, eg. borders that are composed of dots or dashes? Thanks for your ideas, Malcolm
