Firstly I want to place label1 and after 3 seconds i want to configure background but it doesnt work

Question

import tkinter as tk
import time
root=tk.Tk()
label1=tk.Label(text='hello',font='Calibri 25')
label1.pack()
time.sleep(3)
label1.configure(bg='green')
root.mainloop()

Again and again I say only I want to place label1 and after 3 seconds I want to change the background color but it doesnt work. Can you explain me the main problem and what can I do?

sleep should not be used in the main tkinter loop, as this causes the interface to freeze. It's better to use after.

import tkinter as tk

COLOR = 'green'

def lbl_clear():
    label1.configure(text="", bg=root['bg'])
    

def lbl_bg(color):
    label1.configure(bg=color)
    root.after(3000, lbl_clear)


root = tk.Tk()
label1 = tk.Label(text='hello', font='Calibri 25')
label1.pack()
root.after(3000, lbl_bg, COLOR)
root.mainloop()

If you only want to remove the text then remove `bg=root['bg']`. – Сергей Кох Dec 22 '22 at 18:47
