Button Mac OS
- Hi Jodie, Our server-based PAB is compatible with Mac OS/Outlook 2016 on OSX High Sierra (version 10.13 or newer). Unfortunately, if you were looking for a client-based installation of the PAB for Mac OS/Outlook 2016, it is not currently supported and we do not have a timeline for when this might be available.
- Next use place to parent a background color button on top of it. This will be the button with the 'command' on it or the button you bind events to. If you want your code to be OS independent, you can either add an 'if OS 'Mac' statement or even add a custom function that modifies the button if its on a Mac but leaves it alone on Windows.
This video instructs you how to use the 'Finder' Button if you own a Mac on OS X. The 'Finder' window shows the Mac user the contents of the hard drive. It describes functions of the Finder folder: i.e., adding an untitled new folder in the Finder file. It also discusses how you can view the 'Finder' in a variety of layouts: grids, lists, etc. The video shows you how to use the buttons on the. Install Mac OS On VirtualBox Virtual Machine Steps. 2.1 Create MacOS Virtual Machine In Virtualbox. Open virtualbox, click New button to create a new virtual machine. Input macOS high sierra or macOS mojave in the Name field, select Mac OS X in Type drop down list, select Mac OS X(64-bit) in Version drop down list, then click Next button. I tried setting keyboard up and it asked me to press the button to the right of shift, I pressed everything and did not work. If I search up SiliconWin, it comes up with Windows driver and no mac drivers.
Question or issue on macOS:
I’ve been working through the Tkinter chapters in Programming Python and encountered a problem where the foreground and background colours of a button will not change. I am working on a Mac OS X 10.6 system with Python 2.6.1. The colours of a label will change, but not the colours of a button. For example:
On my Mac system the colours of the label change, but the colours of the button do not. On a Windows system with Python 2.6.1 the colours of both the label and button change.
Anyone know what is going wrong?
I’ve checked Interface Builder and it appears that there is no option to change the foreground or background colour of a button in that tool. There is the ability to edit the foreground and background colours of a label.
The Mac OS X rendering system (Quartz?) may just not support (easily) changing the fg and bg of a button.
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
I think the answer is that the buttons on the mac simply don’t support changing the background and foreground colors. As you’ve seen, this isn’t unique to Tk.
Solution no. 2:
There is a solution for changing the background of buttons on Mac.
Use:
For example:
This results in the following, a nice button that fits in with the background:

For anyone else who happens upon this question as I did, the solution is to use the ttk module, which is available by default on OS X 10.7. Unfortunately, setting the background color still doesn’t work out of the box, but text color does.
It requires a small change to the code:
Original:
With ttk:

You can do it with tkmacosx from Pypi
Installation:-
for python2
for python3
Now use it:
It works fine on mac os x.
P.S For more information see it on Pypi

Its quite annoying that after years this is still a problem.
Anyways, as others have mentioned, highlightbackground (the border color) can be used in place of background on a Mac. If you increase the size of the border to be huge (the size of the button or greater), you will get a nice, solid background color. This will give your button the appearance of a label.
This works if you are using place, but not if you are using something like grid. With grid, increasing the border size increases the button size automatically, unfortunately.
However, if you must use grid, you can always hack it….create your colorless grid button. Next use place to parent a background color button on top of it. This will be the button with the ‘command’ on it or the button you bind events to.
If you want your code to be OS independent, you can either add an ‘if OS “Mac”‘ statement or even add a custom function that modifies the button if its on a Mac but leaves it alone on Windows or Linux. Here’s the former:

I was looking as to why this doesn’t work as well. I found a quick way to try and fix it is to have a label and then bind a click with the label. Then have the label change colors for a short time to mimic clicking. Here is an example.

Confirm following code can change the background of tkinter Button on Mac OS X.
But it cannot change bg of ttk.Button.
