Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • tkinter library (usually included with Python)
  • Pillow library for handling images

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory:
    cd your-repo-name
  3. Install the required packages:
    pip install Pillow

Usage

  1. Place your icon image:
    Ensure you have an icon image named icon.png in the same directory as the script. This image will be used as the window icon.

  2. Run the script:

    python your_script_name.py

    Replace your_script_name.py with the name of your Python script file.

Code Explanation

The main components of the script are:

  1. Imports:

    • tkinter for creating the GUI.
    • datetime for getting the current date and time.
    • PIL (Pillow) for handling images.
    import tkinter as tk
    from datetime import datetime
    from PIL import Image, ImageTk
  2. Update Time Function:

    • This function gets the current date and time and updates the labels.
    • It also schedules itself to run again after 1 second (1000 milliseconds).
    def update_time():
        current_time = datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M:%S')
        current_date = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
        time_label.config(text=current_time)
        date_label.config(text=current_date)
        root.after(1000, update_time)
  3. Creating the Main Window:

    • Initializes the main window.
    • Sets the window title, size, and icon.
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title("Date and Time")
    root.geometry("600x250")
    image = Image.open('icon.png') 
    icon = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
    root.iconphoto(False, icon)
  4. Labels for Time and Date:

    • Creates and packs the labels for displaying the time and date.
    label = tk.Label(root, bg='white')
    label.pack()
    time_label = tk.Label(label, font=('Kanit', 80), fg='black', bg='white')
    time_label.pack(pady=20)
    date_label = tk.Label(label, font=('Kanit', 24), fg='black', bg='white')
    date_label.pack(pady=0)
  5. Initial Update and Main Loop:

    • Calls the update_time function to start the update cycle.
    • Starts the main loop of the tkinter window.
    root.configure(bg='white')
    update_time()
    root.mainloop()

Customization

  • Change Font: You can change the font and size of the time and date labels by modifying the font parameter in the tk.Label definitions.
  • Change Colors: You can change the foreground and background colors by modifying the fg and bg parameters in the tk.Label definitions.
  • Window Size: You can adjust the window size by modifying the root.geometry("600x250") line.
