python tkinter: Progressbar indeterminate: mac os: how to oncrease the size of the bright area moving

Question

I have an indeterminate progress bar, the problem is when it starts running, I can barely notice that it is actually doing anything. I noticed that the bright area is larger on the native mac os apps, or faster, so when it moves, it's noticeable.

Can I modify the colours/speed of the moving part?

self.progressbar_Progress = ttk.Progressbar(frame_Output)
    self.progressbar_Progress.config(maximum='1', mode='indeterminate', orient='horizontal', value='0')
    self.progressbar_Progress.pack(anchor='w', expand='true', fill='x', padx='0', side='top')
self.progressbar_Progress.start()

The reason the progressbar appears weirdly is because you set the start value to be 0, but then the maximum to be 1. Since it only has to go 1, it will flicker because it has no distance to go.

This isn't native to Mac OS at all; it also happens on windows. To fix this, I set the maximum to 100.

Here is the final code:

import ttkthemes as ttk

from tkinter import *

frame_Output = Tk()
p = ttk.Progressbar(frame_Output)
p.config(maximum='100', mode='indeterminate', orient='horizontal', value='0')
p.pack(anchor='w', expand='true', fill='x', padx='0', side='top')
p.start()

frame_Output.mainloop()

Hope this helps!

unfortauntely, still same result. No change at all. – Shadi Jun 14 '20 at 21:19 — Shadi, Jun 14 '20 at 21:19
