Tkinter's messagebox
does not provide a direct method to change its icon. The icon displayed in the messagebox
is inherited from the main root window.
However, if you'd like to change the icon for the main window (and subsequently the messagebox
icon), you can do so with the iconbitmap
method. Here's a brief tutorial:
Setting up the basic GUI with Tkinter:
Begin by setting up a basic window using Tkinter
.
import tkinter as tk from tkinter import messagebox root = tk.Tk() root.title("Change MessageBox Icon") root.geometry("300x200")
Changing the main window's icon:
You can use an .ico
file for this purpose. Place your desired .ico
file in the project's directory or specify its full path.
root.iconbitmap('path_to_icon.ico')
Replace 'path_to_icon.ico'
with the path to your .ico
file.
Create a function to display a MessageBox:
def show_message(): messagebox.showinfo("Info", "This is an info message box!")
Add a button to display the MessageBox:
btn = tk.Button(root, text="Show Message", command=show_message) btn.pack(pady=50)
Run the main loop:
root.mainloop()
When you put the above code snippets together and run the script, you'll get a Tkinter window with a button. Clicking on the button will display a messagebox
. The messagebox
will inherit its icon from the main root window, which you set using the iconbitmap
method. If you've correctly specified the path to the .ico
file, both the main window and the messagebox
will display the new icon.
Customize icon in Tkinter messagebox:
icon
parameter in the messagebox.showinfo()
, messagebox.showwarning()
, messagebox.showerror()
, etc.from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show info messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showinfo("Custom Icon", "This is an info messagebox", icon='info') root.mainloop()
Setting custom icon for Tkinter messagebox:
icon
parameter with the desired icon type ('info', 'warning', 'error', or 'question').from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show warning messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showwarning("Custom Icon", "This is a warning messagebox", icon='warning') root.mainloop()
How to change the MessageBox icon in Tkinter:
icon
parameter in the messagebox
functions.from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show error messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showerror("Custom Icon", "This is an error messagebox", icon='error') root.mainloop()
Customizing MessageBox appearance in Tkinter:
icon
, title
, and message
.from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Customize messagebox appearance messagebox.showinfo("Custom Appearance", "This is a customized messagebox", icon='info', title='Custom Title') root.mainloop()
Tkinter messagebox with custom icon example:
from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showinfo("Custom Icon Example", "This is a messagebox with a custom icon", icon='info') root.mainloop()
Changing icon for different MessageBox types in Tkinter:
icon
parameter.from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show messagebox with different icons messagebox.showinfo("Info Icon", "This is an info messagebox", icon='info') messagebox.showwarning("Warning Icon", "This is a warning messagebox", icon='warning') messagebox.showerror("Error Icon", "This is an error messagebox", icon='error') root.mainloop()
Custom icon for error messagebox in Tkinter:
from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Show error messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showerror("Custom Error Icon", "This is an error messagebox with a custom icon", icon='error') root.mainloop()
Tkinter messagebox with custom image/icon:
from tkinter import messagebox, Tk from tkinter import PhotoImage # Import PhotoImage for custom image/icon root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Load custom image/icon custom_icon = PhotoImage(file='path/to/custom_icon.png') # Show messagebox with custom icon messagebox.showinfo("Custom Image", "This is a messagebox with a custom image", icon=custom_icon) root.mainloop()
Personalizing MessageBox appearance in Tkinter:
icon
, title
, and message
.from tkinter import messagebox, Tk root = Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window # Personalize messagebox appearance messagebox.showinfo("Personalized Appearance", "This is a personalized messagebox", icon='info', title='Personal Title') root.mainloop()
