What is the correct way to include Azure theme with pyinstaller exe?

[TheWicklowWolf]

The Pyinstaller exe produces:
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't read file "azure.tcl": no such file or directory

You should add --collect-data sv_ttk in order to include.

You should add --collect-data sv_ttk in order to include.

Clearly not, because this is Azure, not Sun-Valley.

However, I don't know how to make it work with Pyinstaller, I haven't really used it.

[sofronas]

Yeah, my fault! I thought you were using sv_ttk
If you want, you can use auto-py-to-exe. It's an GUI version of pyinstaller.

For pyinstaller one folder (-D):

--add-data "azure.tcl;" --add-data="theme\light.tcl;theme" --add-data="theme\dark.tcl;theme" --add-data="theme\light\*;
theme\light" --add-data="theme\dark\*;theme\dark"

---

For pyinstaller one file (-F):

--add-data "azure.tcl;" --add-data="theme\light.tcl;theme" --add-data="theme\dark.tcl;theme" --add-data="theme\light\*;
theme\light" --add-data="theme\dark\*;theme\dark"

and add this to into the python file:

    try:
      def get_path(filename):
        if hasattr(sys, "_MEIPASS"): #True if it's an exe
            return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, filename)
        else:
            return filename
      tcl_folder = get_path("azure.tcl")
      root.tk.call('source', tcl_folder)
      root.tk.call("set_theme", "light")
    except:
       pass

To make it work with pyinstaller, you need a folder called Azure with the Azure ttk theme in it. Than, replace the theme code with this:

import darkdetect
def settheme(window):
    window.tk.call("source", "Azure/azure.tcl")
    window.tk.call("set_theme", "light")
    def change_theme():
    # NOTE: The theme's real name is azure-<mode>
        if window.tk.call("ttk::style", "theme", "use") == "Azure/azure-dark":
            # Set light theme
            window.tk.call("set_theme", "light")
        else:
            # Set dark theme
            window.tk.call("set_theme", "dark")
    is_dark = darkdetect.isDark()
    if is_dark:
        change_theme()
settheme(root)

And than, at least for autopytoexe select Additional Files > Add folder and than select Azure

I have really tried many times but nothing seems to work. Please help me

put --add-data Azure at the end of the file. It also requires darkdetect because it runs the default Windows theme

[Imraanmohammed]

Thank you. I don't really understand what you mean by darkdetect

It is a module. Here is the full command:
put darkdetect.py in the app dir and run
python -m pyinstaller somefile.py --add-data Azure --add-data darkdetect.py

[Imraanmohammed]

It works!
