I have been doing a python app for a calculator with Tkinter. I want to know how access the buttons properties such as their size, height, width and color by the use of strings. So far I have been able to change the background of the lines behind the buttons to red by using style.configure("TButton", background='red', font="Serif 15", padding=10 ).
How do I change the buttons themselves? If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
from tkinter import ttk
class Calculator:
calc_value = 0.0
div_trigger = False
mult_trigger = False
add_trigger = False
sub_trigger = False
def __init__(self,root):
self.entry_value = StringVar(root,value="")
root.title("Calculator")
root.geometry("600x500")
root.resizable(width=True, height=True)
style = ttk.Style()
style.configure(self, background='red')
style.configure("TButton", #background='red',
font="Serif 15",
padding=10 )
style.configure("TEntry",
font="Serif 15",
padding=10 )
self.number_entry = ttk.Entry(root,
textvariable=self.entry_value,width=50)
self.number_entry.grid(row=0, columnspan=4)
#-------1st row---------
self.button7 = ttk.Button(root, text="7",
command=lambda: self.button_press('7')).grid(row=1, column=0)
self.button8 = ttk.Button(root, text="8",
command=lambda: self.button_press('8')).grid(row=1, column=1)
self.button9 = ttk.Button(root, text="9",
command=lambda: self.button_press('9')).grid(row=1, column=2)
self.button_div = ttk.Button(root, text="/",
command=lambda: self.button_press('/')).grid(row=1, column=3)
#-------2nd row---------

command=lambda: self.button_press('AC')).grid(row=5, column=0)
self.button0 = ttk.Button(root, text="0",

self.button_equal = ttk.Button(root, text="=",
command=lambda: self.button_press('=')).grid(row=5, column=2)
self.button_sub = ttk.Button(root, text="-",
command=lambda: self.button_press('-')).grid(row=5, column=3)
root = Tk()
calc = Calculator(root)
root.mainloop()
#button1 = Button(topframe,padx=16, pady=16, bd=8, text="1", fg="black", bg = random.choice(colors))
