I am trying to change the bg color of a tkinter button on my mac (catalina) but instead of getting a colored background, it is showing a blank space in the layout.
The button code I used:
OpeningFile = Button(root, width=45, bg="#82CC6C", fg="black", text="OPEN", highlightbackground="#82CC6C", highlightthickness=1, borderwidth=0.2, relief="groove", padx=0, pady=0, command=openfile) OpeningFile.grid()
Result I am getting:
What I expected:
I tried changing many parameters but it is still giving me the same result,
Can it be fixed or it is a bug in tkinter inside mac only?
(It was working properly in windows)

Method 1
I was looking for information on the same issue and it seems to be a limitation with tkinter using the MacOS APIs. Basically MacOS says the button colors can’t change so tkinter can’t change them.
