Output code generated for tkinter
# This code is generated by PyUIbuilder: https://github.com/PaulleDemon/PyUIBuilder
import tkinter as tk
from tktimepicker import AnalogPicker, AnalogThemes, constants
import tkintermapview
main = tk.Tk()
main.config(bg="#332f2f")
main.title("Main Window")
timepicker = AnalogPicker(parent=main, type=constants.HOURS12)
timepicker_theme = AnalogThemes(timepicker)
timepicker_theme.setNavyBlue()
timepicker.place(x=80, y=145, width=250, height=350)
map_viewer = tkintermapview.TkinterMapView(master=main)
map_viewer.place(x=423, y=181, width=400, height=250)
label = tk.Label(master=main, text="Sample text")
label.config(bg="#E4E2E2", fg="#000")
label.place(x=83, y=69, width=130, height=46)
button = tk.Button(master=main, text="Click me")
button.config(bg="#65ff4a", fg="#0b0909")
button.place(x=457, y=108, width=80, height=40)
main.mainloop()
Output produced tkinter (linux)
