5.0 Feb-2024

main_open_github_issue - prefill the "Details" using the platform module (thank you macdeport!)
Fills Mac, Windows and Linux with details
Fix for the "jumping window problem on Linux". Major credit to Chr0nic for his amazing "stick with it" work on this problem!
Removed the previous fix attempt for jumping window on linux
Added ability for Mac users to specify file_type in Browse and popup_get_file
This feature must be ENABLED by the user in the Mac control panel that can be found in the PySimpleGUI Global Settings
The default is this feature is OFF
New location parameter option for Windows. Setting location=None tells PySimpleGUI to not set any location when window is created. It's up to the OS to decide.
The docstring for Window has been changed, but not all the other places (like popup). Want to make sure this works before making all those changes.
Added check for None invalid values parm when creating a Listbox element
Column docstring changed to add reminder to call contents_changed if changing the contents of a scrollable column
Fixed crash when horizontal_scroll=True for Listbox element
Added readonly to Input.update
Added Window.set_resizable - can change the X and Y axis resizing after window is created
Added wrap parameter to Spin element - if True, wraps back to the first value when at the end
Temp test code added for a new verification feature
Fixed Spin Element docstring - readonly was not correct
Output element - addition of wrap_lines and horizontal_scroll parameters
Multiline element - addition of wrap_lines parameter
Added Window.unbind
Added (None, None) to the Window docstring
Fix for continuous Graph element mouse up events when reading with a timeout=0. Big thank you to @davesmivers (THANKS DAVE!!) for finding and fixing
Added platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and platform version information to the get_versions function
Added a fix for the file_types Mac problem that doesn't require the system settings to be used... let's give it a go!
Added ubiquitious Edit Me to the right click menu
PySimpleGUI Anniversary sale on Udemy course coupon
Fix for bind_return_key - if a button has been disabled, then the event shouldn't be generated for the return key being pressed
Added cols_justification for Table element - list or tuple of strings that indicates how each column should be justified
Better error handling for table element's new justification list. If a bad value is found, will use the default value
Additional mac filetype testing.... added more combinations that specify
Added * . to the Mac filetypes to check for
New logic for checking for the * case for Mac filetypes
Docstring update - TabGroup visible parameter marked as deprecated . Use a Column element to make a TabGroup invisible
Docstring update for the pin helper function that describes the shrinking of the container that it helps provide.
Also added explanation that it's the elements you want to make visible/invisible that are what you want to pin
Applied same Mac file_types fix to popup_get_file
Removed filetypes setting from Mac Feature Control Panel
Addition of enable_window_config_events to the Window object. This will cause a EVENT_WIMDOW_CONFIG event to be returned
if the window is moved or resized.
Made upgrade from GitHub window resizable so can screencapture the entire session
Added new constant TKINTER_CURSORS which contains a list of the standard tkinter cursor names
Added erase_all parameter to cprint (like the Debug Print already has)
Fix popup_scrolled - was only adding the Sizegrip when there was no titlebar. It should be added to all windows
unless the no_sizegrip parameter is set.
popup_scrolled - added no_buttons option. If True then there will not be a row at the bottom where the buttons normally are.
User will have to close the window with the "X"
popup_scrolled - added button_justification parameter. Wanted to make scrolled popups consistent with other popups which have left justified
buttons. But since they've been right justified in the past, want to give users the ability to retain that look.
Since the Sizegrip works correctly now, it increases the changes of accidently clicking a button if it's right justified.
Added default_color to ColorChooser button
Added to Button element error message that images must be in PNG or GIF format
Added exapnd_x and expand_y to all of the "lazy buttons" and Chooser buttons
Column element - added horizontal_scroll_only parameter (fingers crossed on this one....)
New signature testing
Exposed the Table Element's ttk style using member variable TABLE.table_ttk_style_name
New signature format
Backed out the changes from 4.61.0.38 (horizontal_scroll_only parameter). Those changes broke code in the scrollable columns. Need to make time to work on this feature more.
Added a print if get an exception trying to set the alpha channel after a window is created (troubleshooting a Mac problem)
Updated Menubar docstring to clarify the Menubar iself cannot have colors changed, only the submenus. Use MenubarCustom if you want full control
Format of file-signature changed
Further refinement of Menubar docstring
Added suggestion of using the Demo Browser to the checklist item of "Look for Demo Programs similar to your problem"
Testing some importing methods
Delay rerouting stdout and stderr in Output and Multiline elements until window is being built instead of when element is initialized
Additional window movement capability. If Control+Mouse movement feature is enabled, then Control+Arrow key will move the window 1 pixel
in the indicated direction
Added Window.set_size to match the other settings that are performed through method calls. There is also the Window.size property, but
since PySimpleGUI rarely uses properties, it makes sense to include a method as well as a property
Fix for ColorChooser button filling in a None value when cancel from color choise dialog box. Nothing will be filled in target if dialog cancelled
vtop, vcenter, vbottom helper functions gets background_color parameter
vcenter and vbottom - added USING the expand_x and expand_y parms that were already defined. (HOPE NOTHING BREAKS!)
justification parameter added to Listbox (default is left.. can be right and center now too)
Made settings dictionary multiline in test harness write-only. New coupon code
alpha_channel added to set_options. This sets the default value for the alpha_channel for all windows both user generated and PySimpleGUI generated (such as popups).
Allow Browse/Chooser buttons (that have a target) to indicate a target key that is a tuple.
While not actually correct.... 4.60.1 was released in the middle of the development above... I'm changing the version to look as
if this release is based on 4.60.1. This code DOES have the same code that's in 4.60.1 so it's more a matter of symantics.
Hoping this clears up confusion. Sorry for the dot-release causing so much confusion.
Fix for Window.extend_layout. Was not picking up the background color of the container that the rows were being added to.
Fixed Text element's update method docstring to indicate that value can be "Any" type not just strings
Addition of without_titlebar paramter to Window.current_location. Defaults to False. If True, then the location of the main portion of the window
will be returned (i.e. will not have the titlebar)
Fix for crash if COLOR_SYSTEM_DEFAULT specified in parameter disabled_readonly_background_color or disabled_readonly_text_color for Input Element.
Also applied similar fix for Tab element's focus color
Addition of set_option parameter hide_window_when_creating. If set to False then window will not be hidden while creating and moving
Changed the documentation location to PySimpleGUI.org (updated some comments as well as the SDK Reference Window's links)
New coupon code. Make the Udemy button in the test harness now include the coupon code automatically
Removed the "NOT avoilable on the MAC" from file_types parameter in the docstrings
Use Withdraw to hide window during creation
Addition of checklist item when logging new issue to GitHub - upgraded to latest version of PySimpleGUI on PyPI
Listbox justification parameter found to not be implemented on some early verions of tkinter so had to protect this situation. This new feature crashed on the Pi for example
Allow set_options(window_location=None) to indicate the OS should provide the window location.
This will stop the Alpha channel being set to 0 when the window is created
Addition of new Mac Control Panel option and emergency patch for MacOS version 12.3+
If MacOS version 12.3 or greater than option is ON by default
When ON, the default Alpha channel for all windows is set to 0.99.
This can either be turned off, or can be overridden by calling set_options in your application
Bumping version number to avoid confusion. An emergency 4.60.2 release was posted to PyPI. This change was added to this current GitHub version of PySimpleGUI.
Fixed bug in checking Mac OS version number that is being released as 4.60.3
Correctly check for Mac 12.3+ AND 13+ this time.
Roll in the changes being released to PyPI as 4.60.3
Test to see if the additional pack of Notebook in Tab code was causing expansion problems
Debug Print - fix for bug caused by no_button being set with non_blocking... a lesson in thorough testing... assumption was either blocking OR no_button (or else app would
close without seeing the output... unless something else blocked. (DOH)
"Window closed" check added to update methods for elements. This will prevent a crash and instead show an error popup
Will be helpful for users that forget to check for closed window event in their event loop and try to call update after window closed.
Output element now automatically sets auto_refresh to True. Should this not be desired, switch to using the Multiline element. There will likely be
no impact to this change as it seems like the windows are alredy refreshing OK, but adding it just to be sure.
Addition of Window.key_is_good(key) method. Returns True if key is used in the window. Saves from having to understand the window's key dictionary.
Makes for easier code completion versus writing "if key in window.key_dict"
Combo - if readonly, then set the select colors to be "transparent" (text=text color, background=background color)
Better description of bar_color parm for the ProgressMeter element and the one_line_progress_meter function
Combo element - addition of select parameter to enable easier selection of the contents of clearing of the selection of the contents.
Changed the _this_elements_window_closed to use a flag "quick_check" for cheking is the window is closed. Found that calling tkinter.update takes over 500ms sometimes!
For appllications that call update frequently, this caused a catestrophic slowdown for complex windows.
New Window method - get_scaling - gets the scaling value from tkinter. Returns DEFAULT_SCALING if error.
Custom Titlebar - Support added to Window.minimize, Window.maximize, and Window.normal
Fix for Mulitline showing constant error messages after a Window is closed.
Fix for correctly restoring stdout, stderr after they've been rerouted. THIS CODE IS NOT YET COMPLETE! Shooting for this weekend to get it done!
Image element - more speicific with tkinter when chaning to a new image so that pypy would stop crashing due to garbage collect not running.
This change didn't fix the pypy problem but it also didn't hurt the code to have it
Quick and dirty addition of Alt-shortcuts for Buttons (like exists for Menus)
For backward compatablity, must be enabled using set_options with use_button_shortcuts=True
Fixed docstring errors in set_options docstring
Completed restoration of stdout & stderr
If an Output Element is used or a Multline element to reroute stdout and/or stderr, then this hasn't worked quite right in the past
Hopefuly now, it does. A LIFO list (stack) is used to keep track of the current output device and is scrubbed for closed windows and restored if one is closed
Addition of Style Names for horizontaland vertical ttk scrollbars - hsb_style_name and vsb_style_name so that scrollbar colors can be changed in user code
Output element - now automatically reroutes cprint to here as well. Assumption is that you want stuff to go here without
needing to specify each thing. If want more control, then use the Multiline directly
Output element - updated docstring
Combo Element - new parameter enable_per_char_events. When True will get an event when individual characters are entered.
Added path to the interpreter to the get_versions information for better debugging
Dark Gray 16 theme added
New batch of Emojis!
Addition of TITLEBAR_TEXT_KEY to provide access to custom titlebar titles
Implemented the visible parameter for TabGroup. Was not being honored when creating element. Added TabGroup.update so it can be made visible.
Added support for Custom Titlebar to the Window.set_title method
Addition of starting_row_number parameter to the Table element. Sets the value for the first row in the table.
Added 2 parameters to popup - drop_whitespace is passed to the wraptext.fill method. right_justify_buttons will "push" buttons to
the right side if set to True
Added Element.save_element_screenshot_to_disk - uses the same PIL integration that the save window screenshot to disk uses but applied to a single element
Changed popup again - replaced right_justify_buttons with button_justification. Also removed the extra padding that was being added to the buttons. This
matches a changed made to popup_scrolled earlier
More emojis? Yes... more emojis...
The main test harness now shows the python interpreter used to launch the test harness to make clearer what's running
Better alignment of text in test harness
Fixed mispelling in SystemTray.show_message - crashed if an int was passed in as the time value
popup_get_text - Addition of history feature to bring up to same level as other popup_get_ functions.
Set the "Active" foreground and background colors for Menu and ButtonMenu items. Automatically uses the swapped foreground and background colors.
This impacts both inside the menus themseleves as well as the ButtonMenus so that when they are used in a MenubarCustom they mouseover nicely now.
Added Window.is_hidden method. Returns True if the window is currently hidden
Fixed error in the main test harness "not modal" popup test. Was setting the "Force Modal" setting to true after the popup test.
Trinket is detected using a new mechansim now. The previous one was waayyy too simnple and as a result has broken in the past week.
Version bump to keep up with the PyPI emergency 4.60.4 release
Added SYMBOL_BULLET character
Neon Green, Blue, Yellow themes... was writing some tests using them and thought why not start a new theme color category... "neon"
Fixed an unreported problem perhaps... Added saving new menu into the Menu.Widget memeber variable in the Menu.update method.
Added drop_whitespace to the docstring for popup. Parm has been in the code for quite some time but forgot the docstring so it's not in the SDK reference.
Changed error message in error window when an element reuse has been detected in a layout. Previous message wasn't clear why there was an error.
Added very detailed information to popup_error_with_traceback if the Exception information is passed in as one of the arguments
Menu Element - delete all items in existing Menu widget rather than making a new one when the Menu definition changes
Input.update - added font parameter
Dark Blue 18 theme, a materially kinda theme, added - tip - experiment like PySimpleGUI does when "computing" colors. Grab a color of a part of a theme and use it as a background or a secondary button color. In other words, mix and match since the colors should all work together by design.
Added execute_py_get_running_interpreter to differentiate between the one in the settings file versus currently running interpreter
Image Element... added Zooooooooommmmm parameter
Proliferiation/infection of the zoom parameter to more elements with images - Button, ButtonMenu
Note that zoom and subsample can BOTH be used. This enables fractional scaling. Want 2/3 the size of the image? subsample=3, zoom=2
Tab is the remaining element this is being added to
The Buttons implemented as functions need this addition as well
Addition of the image_source parameter to Button and Button.update. This way of specifying images is commonly used in other elements
Fixed ButtonMenu bug - subsample was not being applied to initial image in the layout
Fix for set_vscroll_position not working correctly for a scrollable Column
Completed addition of zoom options for images by adding image_zoom parameter to Tab element
Fixed Neon Yellow theme. Had an extra "#" in a color.
New coupon code
New Jedi emoji
Swapped Push and Stretch, VPush and VStretch. Made Push and VPush the function and Stratch and VStresth the aliases. Did this because
Push is used almost universally, not Stretch.
Fix for incorrect values for Element.ttk_style and Element.ttk_style_name. Some elements had values overwritten if a scrollbar, etc, was used
Changed a number of the ttk elements (Button for example) to use the base name as the parm to creating the custom style to achieve
a more predictable naming style (relies on the formula used in the create style function rather than ad hoc adding "custom" onto name)
Multiline Element docstring fixes
Addition of 2 overrides to Window.find_element so that more control is available to applications wishing to perform special key lookups
Made button_color parameter's docstring value consistent across all calls. Now set to - (str, str) | str
User settings delete calls - aded silent_on_error option so deletes of non-existant entries can uappen silently if desired.
popup_quick_message - now defaults to keep-on-top to True
Cleaned up User Settings API code for porting
button_color parm added to ButtonMenu.update
New coupon
Window timers feature added. Get a single or repeating timer events for your Window by calling window.timer_start
Added the Window.stop_all method to stop all timers for a window
Added Window.timer_get_active_timers to get a list of the active timers for the window
popup_get_date - exposed the fonts as parameters so that the user code and modify them (specifically to get around a Mac font bug)
Renamed QuickMeter to _QuickMeter so that it's clear that it's not an object meant to be used by users
Tree element - if headings is set to None, no headings area is shown
"Take me to error" button is disabled in error traceback popup if not editor is configured. Also adds instructions if no editor.
Added begin_at_sunday_plus to the CalendarButton docstring
Moved debugger constants to inside of the debugger class. Simplified the locals and globals popups.
Experimental change.... Table.get now returns the values from the widget's selection method
Made the Debugger's use of popups change the theme to the same dark gray theme used in the rest of the debugger windows.
Added selected_text_color & selected_background_color to Input element. Will override the default values
Fixed bug in Combo.update - the width of the element wasn't getting updated to match new values
Added selected_text_color & selected_background_color to Multiline element. Will override the default values
Fixed bind_return_key docstrings in the pre-defined buttons. Made the Button bind_return_key docstring more descriptive
Changed version numbers to 4.61.0 to try and fix the confusion about what's been released to PyPI.
New Udemy coupon code
Removed the print when the Mac Alpha Channel 0.99 patch is applied
Removed second print when Mac patch applied
Tree Element new parameter - click_toggles_select - if True then clicking a selected item will unselect it
Fixed problem with TabGroups when the text was blank for a Tab. Was not correctly identifying the active tab in the Values dictionary
Updated TabGroup.get to use the same method to find the currently active tab that was just added above.
Updated layout error messages to include "sometimes" in the description of what may be causing error
Updated Window.start_timer docstring to include the constants EVENT_TIMER and TIMER_KEY since the call reference doesn't show the variable names but rather the string value.
Multiline new parameter autoscroll_only_at_bottom. When True, the element will autoscroll (keep scrollbar at the bottom) only if the scrollbar is already at the bottom.
Added the new Multiline parameter autoscroll_only_at_bottom so that the Output element can also use this option
Added the _optional_window_data function that is used to help with local PySimpleGUI testing of release candidates. Not meant to be used by end-users.
Changed Checkbox activeforeground to be the same as the text so mouseover doesn't change color
New Global Settings feature - Window watermarking. Can be forced on temporarily by settings watermark=True in your Window creation
Fix "Bold" crash from watermarking feature
New set_options to control user-defined watermarks
Addition of new parms to Combo.update - text color, background color. Also font now applied correctly to dropdown list
Checkbox - added highlight thickness parm to control how thick the focus ring is. Defaults to 1 still but now changable
Input element - fixed problem where the input 'cursor' (the I-beam) was being set to the THEME'S color, not the color indicated by the individual element
Multiline & Spin - Applied same fix for input "cursor" (I-Beam) color that was added to the Input element.
Added new method - set_ibeam_color to Input, Multiline and Spin elements. Combo is a ttk element so it's not available using this call yet
New Udemy coupon
New Udemy coupon
Fix for bad user settings key for user watermark. Added Python version to watermark
Changed Radio activeforeground to be the same as the text so mouseover doesn't change color
Allow no end-key to be specified for perform_long_operation/start_thread. Careful with backward compatibility! If you skip adding parm on old versions of PySimpleGUI then it'll not work.
Possible fix for Mac Input Element issue that's been happening with no-titlebar windows on MacOS 13.2.1 Ventura
Added upgrade service - No notification popups should be shown yet. Don't want to SPAM users while testing
Made changing the "Show only critical" setting in global settings take effect immediately rather than waiting until closed settings window
Added timer_stop_usec to return timer value in microseconds
Overwrite upgrade data if any portion has changed
Notification window - added countdown counter. Added hand cursor if message is a link and enable clicking of link to open the browser to that link
Improved linux distro detection
Custom Titlebar - Support for disabling resizing (maximizing too), support for disable minimize and disable close
Input element - fix for bug with text color & logic wasn't quite right with the "read for disabled" stuff in the update as well as when making window
New Udemy coupon
Removed Security tab from system settings
Added check for None and COLOR_SYSTEM_DEFAULT before any colors being set in Input.update
Only enable the Mac alpha channel 0.99 patch when tkinter version is 8.6.12. Have learned this is not needed for any other tkinter version
Show Critical upgrade service messages. Removed the extra upgrade from github button from tab.
Fix for Combo.update background color changing incorrect widget setting.
Fix for crash when no headings specified for a table by casting values into strings
Fix for popup_get_file when using no_window=True. Now returns None if cancelled or window closed
Corrected the Table.get docstring to reflect that it returns a list of ints
Finished correcting the Table.get docstring.... think I got it right this time....
Changed Table click events to be generated on Button Release instead of Button (down). Was not getting the
correct selected rows in the values dictionary when the click event was generated using down. Now the selected rows is correct
Addition of black2 theme
Fix typo of text in _widget_was_created
Fixed bug in Button.update. Was setting the activeforeground and activebackground which broke the mouseover or mouse press colors
Fixed bug in Button.update. Corrected when activeforeground and activebackground are set. Removing them in version above was a mistake
Fixed spelling errors... resuse should have been reuse
Added Listbox.select_index and Listbox.set_index_color
New Udemy Coupon
Added highlight colors to the set_index_color method. Parms highlight_text_color & highlight_background_color control changing the highlight colors
Made Table Element Header mouse-over and clicked be the inverse of the normal header colors. Makes for a much nicer experience
Added no_buffering option to popup_animated
Updated Udemy coupon code
Fix for grab anywhere window movement and control+left_mouse_drag. Window move smoother, including the Move-All-Windows feature. Thank you JASON for the help!
Added init for _mouse_offset_x and y in case tkinter doesn't call the mouse down callback
Added doctring and destroy previous right click menu to set_right_click_menu
Changed Sizer element to use Canvas instead of Column element
One more change to sizer so that it uses pad instead of size.
Fixed docstring for execute_command_subprocess. The command description was incorrect
Added back the changes for Global Settings that got overwritten when I merged in the 4.60.4.120 changes.
Added button to delete the license key in the system setting window
Added deletion of trial period info if deleting the license key from the system settings
Added the NEW install windows. Need to integrate back in the "Trial Period" file and logic that was working before.
Added watermark at end of every window so we know we're running 5.0 during testing
Changed background color of watermark to use window's background color
Merged in the watermarking changes from 4.0's new global settings window
Fixed "Bold" bug that was crashing the Mac
Added watermark to all windows when in Trial Period
Fixed "GRADE PERIOD" misspelling. Added a newline to the watermark while we're testing. Will remove the second line in final release
Only changing the version number to test the toolchain (first end-to-end build including generating setup.py)
NEW folder layout on GitHub so need to test the new toolchain.
version of build script and pip installer that uses the folder to install
Added Python version number to the watermark on all windows for much better testing info
Version bump for new DEPLOY REPO
Added Python version to watermark
Manually compressing file size by removing old comments/commented out code
Added color to Secure and Unsecure watermarks at bottomr of window
Change Test Harness "Upgrade from GitHub" red button to upgrade from the NEW 5.0 Deployment GitHub!
Removed old pip upgrade code. Fixed crash in the SDK reference due to removal of an import
Flipped protection colors so that text color is always white... bg is green or red
NEW colors parameter for Text Element! Uses the dual-color string. Using this to set the SECURE watermark. Exclusive to 5.0 now
Extra set of () was causing crash in _perform_upgrade_check_thread when running on Linux
Watermark formatting
HUGE merge to bring 5.0 up to date with latest version - 4.61.0.167
Added the autoscroll_only_at_bottom option to Multiline used in Debug Print windows
AWESOME new automatic-setting feature! The "setting" parameter for elements. Added for Input, Multiline, Checkbox.
Bug fixes in the new settings feature
Radio element gets the "setting" feature
Merged in change from 4.60.4.168 that changed the Radio mouseover color
Added "setting" parameter to Listbox, Combo, Spin, Slider
Added crash protection to window.save_settings and also quietly return if the values dictionary is None
Added a "Tools" tab to test harness Can now pip install psgtest, psgdemos, psgresizer, psgcompiler, psgfiglet, psgpsg, psgtray, and psgshortcut directly from the test harness
Set the SECURE / NOT SECURE watermark to purple if a LOCAL copy of PySimpleGUI.py is being used versus a pip installed one
On Trinket - Do not show upgrade messages, write info about upgrade, nor show the security warning
Window.restore_settings added. Hopefully will work on all elements!
Renamed Window.save_settings to Window.settings_save. Same change to Window.restore_settings
Changed to fine granularity token for the pip installs
NEW Window.last_location function. Returns the last known location of the window on the screen. NEW Window feature - Auto Save Location. If new parameter to Window object auto_save_location is set to True, then the location of the window will automatically be saved and restored when the window is closed (saved) and opened (restored)
Reworked Test Harness GUI considerably. Removed the Sponsor tab. Created a new HELP tab and access to temp 5.0 docs.
Deleted a lot of text to try to shrink down the file size
Re-encoded ALL emojis using tinypng.com in desperation to get file size down
Added psg5log to the PSG Tools tab
Pypy3 support was added
Adding PyPy3.9 to the binary part of the code
Check to see if trial period file exists before trying to hide it when running windows
Changed upgrade logic and windows to match the 4.61 release
Renamed Security tab to License
Changed the "Trial Period Ending Soon" warning window to show the number of days remaining rather than saying "1 week"
Added Upgrade tab to the Test Harness so that users don't have to go into Global Settings to see the messages Changed the upgrade notification window: Added a visible count-down in the window. Changed the cursor into a hand if either of the messages have "http" in them If a message is clicked and has "http" in it, then open the browser to that address. This gives us the ability to quickly direct users to a specific link
Expanded auto_save_location feature for windows (only in 5.0) to save/recall location using the window's title so that a multi-window application will work better. Each window will get restored to its last location.
MUCH better auto-save of window. Needed to enable config events for all window types (blocking and non-blocking). Added protection in the initial window creation. Was oddly crashing with an x,y location of None, None. Don't know why it's never failed before. Call save to system settings file every time the window is moved. While this may create a ton of file i/o, it should be FAST to do (hopefully!!) It will only impact windows with Auto-Save enabled so should have no impact on normal windows. NOte that this change DOES impact all window befause all windows will now get a config callback from tkinter when the window is moved
Test to see if adding a requirments.txt file has any impact on pip installing from a GitHub repo
Better / final formatting of the Upgrade Notification Service window and the tab in sg.main
Added changes from 4.61.0.177 Custom Titlebar - Support for disabling resizing (maximizing too), support for disable minimize and disable close
Fixed bug in logic when first time install. Recent changes had broken the Trial Period code.
Added Input Element fix just added to 4.61.178. Need to keep adding 4.x changes into 5.0 until 5.0 released. Input element - fix for bug with text color & logic wasn't quite right with the "read for disabled" stuff in the update as well as when making window
Added indicators when PySimpleGUI code is not secure
Moved the licensing tab from Global Settings to the Main Test Harness. MUCH easier to access now. Will be adding licensing info into main window next
Shrink Test Harness window size so that it's very close to the 4.60 window size. License tab was adding the extra space.
Simplified and moved the Python version number in the Test Harness. Compressed size in preparation of adding licensee info to test harness.
License Key user's name added to the Test Harness.... as close as we get currently to Larry's Splash Screen dream
Added licensee name to top of License tab. Removed expiration days if in Trial Period. Switched the order of licensee shown to match other items in test harness (name will be in yellow now)
Added psgGPT to the tools tab in the test harness
Added a launch drop-down list to launch version of utility that matches currently running version of Python. Much of this tab will be kept to help promote/market the tools
Fix for Test Harness collapse button being shown center justified instead of left justified
Removed unused imports
Bug fix that was just made to 4.61 for Combo.update color problem. Was added in 4.61.0.184
Fix for crash when no headings specified for a table by casting values into strings
Fix for popup_get_file when using no_window=True. Now returns None if cancelled or window closed
Added the "NEVER POST THIS CODE ONLINE" comment warning
Fixed Table.get docstring
Changed Table click events to be generated on Button Release instead of Button (down). Was not getting the correct selected rows in the values dictionary when the click event was generated using down. Now the selected rows is correct
Added a "Disable PSG5 Watermark" setting in global settings so that it's possible to turn off the watermarks in PySimpleGUI 5 in order to take screenshots
Fixed bug in Distribution license. Wasn't finding the key
Display the source of the license key in the test harness where the key is located Added protection to stop users from simply deleting the trial period file. Now the trial period data is also saved in the PySimpleGUI settings file
Added display of license type to License tab
Added code to get the distribution version number from the license key. Added display of distribution version to the License Tab in the test harness Made license key optional parm in several functions. This change will likely proliferate to the other license funcs
Added Black2 theme
Fixed typo in _widget_was_created
Added version string to both source files. Needed so that distribution version check is SECURE Added fucntion to check the a distribution key's version against the currently running version Added information about distribution version to the license tab in the test harness
Fixed incorrect reporting of days since license expired in error window Made bad license window more intelligent by not showing the "enter developer licnse" multiline if a distribution license was used Added proper checking of distribution license version number
Added hooks for psglicense command line command
Added window that displays license information when psglicense is typed on the command line
Split the security check from the license check Allow the command line psglicense to bypass the license check but only allow license to be displayed
Fixed crash due to license text removed Changed text from Grace period to Trial period
Changed Grace Period to Trial Period everywhere
YIKES! Added back in the license check... accidently deleted it earlier
Aded fix from 4.61.0.191 Fixed bug in Button.update. Was setting the activeforeground and activebackground which broke the mouseover or mouse press colors
Fixed bug in Button.update. Corrected when activeforeground and activebackground are set. Removing them in version above was a mistake
Applied same fix as in 4.61 - Fixed spelling errors... resuse should have been reuse
Added the NEW GitHub version of psgdemos so that it'll pip install from there instead of pypi
Added enable events to the OptionMenu element. BIG THANK YOU to Jason for showing how to do this!!!!
Changed pip command to install psggpt since the location moved to a new repo
(New PSG 4 feature added to both 4 and 5) Added Listbox.select_index and Listbox.set_index_color
Added highlight colors to the set_index_color method. Parms highlight_text_color & highlight_background_color control changing the highlight colors
Changed the Trial Period Date storage.... big change... no more individual month, day, year. Instead stored in encoded format. Risky change so everyone test!
Trying out a new Trial Period watermark that's NOT subtle.... maybe it'll "motivate" people to get a key?
Reduced size of Trial Period Watermark from 16 to 12. Flipped colors to red on white. Changed text and added an hourglass.
Fixed watermark. What showing a blank field where trial watermark goes if there was no trial active.
Trial period watermark hourglass only shows on Windows and Mac now
Addition of "Get a License Key" button in the psgmain window (test harness)
Made several of main window's buttons 2 lines tall to reduce the width used
Made remainder of buttons 2 lines high. It looks better with them all converted. Will need to make new screenshots in the docs.
Pulling across fix/enahancement from 4.61.0.197. Mouseover headers for Table Elements are now set properly according to the theme
Set the destination of the "Get a License" button to be a subdomain from PySimpleGUI.com for now so that it forwards.
Added a "home" function Renamed "Test Harness" to "Home" Added license.PySimpleGUI.com as the "Get a License" destination Refactored URLs to use URL_ (they point to pysimple.com currently)
Centered text (because I know Tim will point it out if I don't)
Added no_buffering option to popup_animated
Removed use of the gobal variable version of version number.
New initial install screen (still has the second one we're removing... posting just to test the first one)
New key entry during install screen... I was using that same window when the license expired so will need to fix that.
Changed ok/cancel size and placement in install window. Changed multiline size in key entry
Changed the Trial Period started window to Tim's design. Changed all of the "Ok" buttons in the 5.0 portion of the code to be 6 chars wide. Will do with other buttons too as I find them.
Changed signature verification code. If file doesn't exist, then skip the verification
Reworking Home Window. Changed to using a timer to drive the GIF rather than read timeout. Commented out the graph animation. It slows down our window anyway and won't be visible with new layout Moved all the version stuff under a version tab. The rebuild has begun! Won't take too long....
More major reworking of the home window
Moved Upgrade From GitHub button... OMG what a difference!
Moved signup into the Versions tab. It's getting there!
Changed watermark on windows from Secure to Verified and Insecure to Suspicious. Added a graphic next to the license in Home Window
Added license type and Sign Up button to the "Versions" tab
Awesome changes to the versions and license tab. It's looking FANTASTIC. Changed the hearts next to Python version number to take you to the Python.org download page.
New "certificate" graphic with a red TRIAL indicator
Finished the license tab display for Distribution keys. Now correctly shows the version number the key is good for and number of days until it expires
LOTS of changes in realtime with Tim in a 2.5 hour long call. Many dialog windows and the Hom Window changed
Updated the tools list of repos to use the private repos and PyPI Updated the pip install of tools/packages to show the version number at the end of the install. This was recently added to all application installs of PySimpleGUI 5 too.
Compressed the license image to save space in the code. Split the License Tab into a tab for Developer Key and one for Distribution Key. Not quite done, but close enough to see how it looks.
Fixed distribution key expired bug. They should never expire
Implemented the "Flip back and forth" split tab design for the Distribution and Developer license tabs in the Home Window
Padded out the Developer Key tab when a Distribution key is in use so that the flipping between tabs is seamless
Trial Period Watermark on all windows.... Added a tooltip AND made clickable. When clicked, opens the webpage to get a license key. Works on non-blocking windos too!
Trial Period Watermark - Changed text and changed the destination when clicked
Fixed watermark background colors so that they match the window's background color. Added changing cursor to a hand when hovering over the Trial Period Watermark. Fixed simple hack users could have used to disable the trial period watermark.
Fixed broken version watermark. Needed to add () to get the ternary operator to do what I was after. Lesson learned in using () in this way!
NEW Exec API call that will help with all demo pograms and applications... execute_pip_install_package. It will pip install with a nice output window
Added ability for user to specify the interpreter for the pip install when calling execute_pip_install_package
Added parsing of actual package being installed in the execute_pip_install_package function. This allows for long security tokens to be included
Improved window movement thanks to Jason!
Fixed the Move-All-Windows code for grab anywhere and control click window movements. Now both grab anywhere and control drag move smoother
Removed test code that was setting move all windows = True, cleaned up code removed prints
Changed trial period watermark
Fixed problems in the Distribution & Developer key tabs (wrong date, missing name, etc). I THINK those tabs are DONE now!
Fixed error in execute_pip_install_package when a long pip command ending in #egg was provided. Was not correctly removing final quote. Replaced logic that looks for a package name when a long pip command if found. Fixed problems looking for 3.6, 3.7. Removed all of the "install a tool" code and used the new exec pip install function instead EXIT application when a valid Developer Key is entered. Code was asking user to restart. Now it exitsand tells user to restart.
Added init for _mouse_offset_x and y in case tkinter doesn't call the mouse down callback
Added doctring and destroy previous right click menu to set_right_click_menu
Added code so that warning is not shown when getting package version number for Python 3.7
Version bump while working on supporting 3.13. Changed first comment block from a quoted comment to each line commented
New security token after github cancelled our old one. It's needed for all pip installs of the sensitive items.
NEW Security token for github that's restricted only to the deployment repo
NEW Security token for github that's restricted only to the deployment repo - NOTE this breaks the pip install of the "sensitive tools" for the time being
Changed Sizer element to use a Canvas. Made this changes to PySimpleGUI 4 today as well
Added new constant TITLEBAR_KEY, an enhancement requested by a user.
Added execute_pip_check_package_is_installed to complete the SDK support for packages and pip
Added the error dialog that displays several different license error conditions

Added command psgwatermarkon and psgwatermarkoff so that it's much easier to control the watermark display using the command line rather than the GUI
Fixed bug in psgwatermarkon/off newly added code
Added back the accidently deleted security check!! YIKES
Reworded the security failure popup. Added top-level filename to the security failure popup.
If in the trial period, the set the window's minimum size to be the initially created size. This WILL break some applications, but only if in trial period
NEW Exec API call to restart a program (have to pass in the filename for now). It's a decent error recovery mechanism
Changed the pysimple.com domains into PySimpleGUI.com subdomains
Removed all of the built-in test keys, the button that deletes the trial period, the ability to modify the trial remaining days. Getting code into final release form... all these testing capabilities have to go and instead implement them as utilities.
Fix in execute_command_subprocess. If command is none or blank, return None without showing an error.
Fix in execute_command_subprocess. If command is none or blank, return None without showing an error.
Made Debug Window resizable....TODO - need to make a decision about enabling debugger at startup
Fixed crash in getting into global settings caused by removing the right click menu

Version bump so that pip installs a new version
Removed ability for users to delete the license key from the home window

One more global setting to turn off timeout event printing (oy.... adding TOO many new features!)

popup_get_text - setting focus so that the window focuses immediate and the cursor goes to the input. Something about modal wasn't doing this.

New option in global settings to control if formatted dictionary is printed when the automatic "print event values" feature is enabled
Changed how Input.update select parm works:
- If set to True, then the input is selected (highlighted)

Added arrow and arrow_type to Graph.draw_line method
Made aliases for HorizontalSeparator using word "Line" (HorizontalLine, HLine, Line)

- Type psghelp from the command line.
- Or from the Home Window, click the help tab and the button "SDK Reference Window"

5.0.6 28-Jun-2024

Made the Window member variable right_click_menu_element a property so that it'll show up in the call reference documentation
Changed several docstrings that had type "enum" for parms like SELECT_MODE. They were "enum" and were changed to "str" The reason for the change - PyCharm is highlighting those parms with a warning

A better change to handle cx_freeze UnicodeDecodeError. As a test, will print "Frozen app detected" if successfully detected
Removed the test print "Frozen app detected" if cx_freeze detected

Made retroactive by changing the key in the global settings. Old default was 1.
This function is used when print_event_values=True when making the window.
Menu Element Added support for using a key with a top-level menu item since these can now be events
Fix for incorrectly calculating row when checking for type when Table editing
Test fix for Y-scrolling of columns that have other scrollable elements in them
