it seems there is a something like a bug with Tkinter in macOS, here are a couple of links which could be useful https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/q2rpmp/tkinter_for_python_310_broken_on_macos/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73056296/tkinter-on-mac-shows-up-as-a-black-screen

sill having a same problem 😭

I see there is something about this issue in Python official website too https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/

If you can't find a workaround, I would suggest to replace Tkinter with another library. Although Tkinter is the most popular package for building an user interface in Python, there are many alternatives. (https://python.libhunt.com/tkinter-alternatives)

By looking at this Kivy tutorial I see the structure is very similar to Tkinker, so maybe it won't be very time consuming to adapt the code from the current implementation in Tkinter to something like Kivy.
