Add height property to ttkbootstrap.Button(height=5)

[smatthys]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When creating a button with ttkbootstrap, I can specify a width but for some reason a height is not supported?

root = ttkb.Window(themename='superhero') button1 = ttkb.Button(root, width=15,height=5,wraplength=50,text = 'Click me!') button2 = ttkb.Button(root, width=15,height=5,wraplength=50,text = 'NOO, Click me!', bootstyle='primary, outline')

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to be able to specify a button height and wraplength.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Making my buttons with standard Tkinter buttons.

Why do you want to set a height for the button?

[rdbende]

Buttons aren't meant to have multiple lines of text. Plain ttk doesn't support it either.

Why do you think 'height' is not supported in plain ttk? Did you try? I did and it worked perfectly. Is this the correct way, probably not but having the option for it would make it more line for line code compatible with vanila ttk.

But that's not a ttk button

[rdbende]

FYI ttkbootstrap is an extension, and it can only do things that plain ttk widgets support.

[smatthys]

Ah OK, I thought that the ttk Button inherited from Tk() Button. I can set ipady=25 in the button pack, and add \n in the button text to recreate wraplenght, but it's not ideal. With height, the button never exceeds the set size even when wraplength is having multiline text, it's consistent. I like consistency. 😅

[smatthys]

Ok, I found customtkinter that does support height. It also doesn't wrap length, but with the fixed height, I can \n without changing the center text placement. Both buttons 1 and 2 are identical in size. The text also is centered and aligned. To close this, I want to thank all of you who are working on ttkbootstrap. It is an awesome addition to Tkinter and I would love to help implement those not-so-popular(or useful) attributes, but I'm a noob and still learning.

import customtkinter as ctk

setup

root = ctk.CTk() root.title('CTK pack') root.geometry('600x400')

Widgets

label1 = ctk.CTkLabel(root, text = 'First label', bg_color= 'red') label2 = ctk.CTkLabel(root, text = 'Label 2', bg_color= 'blue') label3 = ctk.CTkLabel(root, text = 'Last of Us', bg_color= 'green')

button1 = ctk.CTkButton(root, width=100, height=80, text = 'Click me!') button2 = ctk.CTkButton(root, width=100, height=80, text = 'NOO, \nClick me!')

layout

label1.pack(side = 'top', expand=False) label2.pack(side = 'bottom', fill='x') label3.pack(side = 'top',pady=10)

button1.pack(side = 'left', expand=True, fill='none') button2.pack(side = 'right', expand=True, fill='none')

root.mainloop()

As someone who has learned a bit of UI/UX design, I'd be happier if customtkinter didn't support multi-line buttons, but yeah, some people need it, so it might be nice to have.

why ttkbootstrap.entry ’s height is bigger than ttk.entry? So I think there is some way to control the height?
