Add images to decorate Tk window in python? – Photoshop

I am a new user of python who started last week. I am creating a music library or music player as one of my school assignments that allows users to click on the arrows to skip to the next song as long as it’s in the same file. However, one problem! The GUI looks terrible and super boring. I have 2 questions today:

  1. How do I change the background image of this whole layout and photoshop my own images in the background to add to the excitement? What I am hoping to do in the end is have a video playing in the massive space as well, a preferred video so they’d at least have something nice to watch as they listen to their selected songs.

Here’s what the silly thing looks like:

Here’s the code:

#     GUI     #
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import filedialog


#     AUDIO   #
from pygame import mixer

#     DIRECTORY NAVIGATION   #
from os import walk

#     EXCEPTION HANDLER   #
import pygame

#     VOLUME CONTROL   #
from comtypes import CLSCTX_ALL
from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities, IAudioEndpointVolume, ISimpleAudioVolume
from ctypes import cast, POINTER
# YOU MIGHT NEED TO PIP INSTALL THESE
# IF THOSE DONT WORK TRY
# py -m pip install [library]
# pip install pycaw
# pip install comtypes
# pip install psutil

    I’m not too sure about the audio scrubber, I’ve never needed audio for my tkinter interfaces so I couldn’t advise on that. For an image, you may find adding something like this to your __init__ method helpful:

    # import the background image
self.background = Image.open('path/to/image')
self.background = self.background.resize((x_dim, y_dim), Image.ANTIALIAS)
self.background = ImageTk.PhotoImage(self.background)

# create background
win.create_image(x_pos, y_pos, image=self.background)

    For the imports you’ll need:

    # 'pip install pillow' if needed
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

    You would of course need to define x_dim and y_dim to make your image fit properly. For x_pos and y_pos, the coordinates you provide will be Tkinter places the center-point of the background image.

    Hopefully that helps!

    At first congrats for getting into Python this quickly !

    For your first question :

    You can import images in tkinter using the PhotoImage class provided in tkinter :

    bg = PhotoImage(file="image_path")

    After importing the image, you can place the image onto the GUI using a label :

    backgroundLabel = Label(win, image=bg)
backgroundLabel.place(x=0, y=0)

    I’ve personnaly never done a videoplayer in tkinter, but i found this pypi module.

    And I don’t know about your second question, sorry.
