Thanks both Kevin and Mick, Mick - it’s always nice to know I’m not the only one with the problem! Kevin - your solution worked.
I initially installed ActiveTcl 8.6, which it seems isn’t compatible with Python 2/3 At the time of writing ActiveTcl 8.4/8.5 (32 bit/64 bit) are recommended for OS X For anybody with this problem in the future I recommend reading: https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ It explains which version of ActiveTcl to install for which OS/Python combination, as well as giving information on how Python links to Tkinter/tkinter: > The Python for Mac OS X installers downloaded from this website dynamically > link at runtime to Tcl/Tk Mac OS X frameworks. … There’s more on that page above PS - I’ve been using Tkinter since 2015. It’s still great ;-) On 28 Ion 2015, at 15:05, Michael O'Donnell <michael.odonn...@uam.es> wrote: > Thanks Kevin, > > I will remove my fixing code and see if colours > are displayed ok again. > > Mick > > On 28 January 2015 at 15:08, Kevin Walzer <k...@codebykevin.com> wrote: >> On 1/28/15 9:03 AM, Michael O'Donnell wrote: >>> >>> My GUI used a gif for borders, and I will with a colored canvas. >>> On the (then) new Macosx, the colors of the gif were different >>> from the canvas color. >>> >>> ...while on Windows or earlier versions of Macosx, the gif >>> and canvas merged seamlessly. >>> >>> I received no response which fixed the problem. >> >> Sorry about that.
