I got this output when I was trying to add a blank button. But it works when I set the button like this

This seems a really ez bug to fix and if you need help I would like to help.

And another thing is that: If the button is too large, it seems to create white margins on the top and bottom. (This is why I try to use a blank button)

Hmm, I see.

We need to fix one problem here and add one feature.

The problem is the white margins and the feature is - Ability to add blank buttons.

Currently when the program finds a button then it tries to get its exported image. But when the button is blank then the API does not return any image :

{
  "err": null,
  "images": {
    "2:2": null
  }
}

This can be fixed by :-

if (err != null && images.id = null ){
    then just use coordinates instead of the image
}

But this will arise another problem. It will create an ugly white button which tkinter has by default. If we are able to get transparent buttons working then it would solve all the problems and also add the feature as we discussed above. So the end goal of this issue might be to implement transparent buttons.

Currently this effect is achieved by using a backdrop for the button which matches the background behind the button. And so making it look like the button is transparent. But in reality it just looks like it is.

I would be great if you can help us solve this issue. I would also look into it.

I would also request you to test https://github.com/ParthJadhav/Tkinter-Designer/pull/132 as it's related to similar problem.

Yeah, transparent buttons is the key, i

Yep, cross-platform transparent buttons are the key.
