I have to make window blur. When the user clicks a button, popup_window shows up and background of window changes with blur.

root = tk.Tk()
## when button shows up, 
root.attributes('-alpha', 0.3)

This works on Windows perfectly. However, I have to do it same on linux, debian. I know, on Tkinter 8.6, that should work on linux. But. in my case, debian linux, it's not.

So, I tried in many ways.

  1. Make the label with window geometry size (whole size) and overlap the root_window and change the color or label with transparent color, and put the blurred dark image on label. However, I don't know how to set "transparent color" on the label.

  2. I tried to make canvas to do it. But similar issues about transparent color still happened.

Can I make the label transparent? or make the window blur on linux? in another way? not attributes('-alpha')

  • sorry to say that... it doesn't work... root.wm_attributes('-alpha', 0.3) doesn't work. in any case... even if I add root.wait_visibility()... Thx, anyway – hhk Jul 21 '20 at 07:54
