Digital Clock Project using Tkinter

Tkinter is a Python library that allows you to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for desktop applications. In this project, we will create a digital clock using Tkinter that displays the current time.

Prerequisites

To follow along with this project, you will need to have Python installed on your computer. Tkinter is included with Python, so you do not need to install it separately.

Creating the Digital Clock

First, import the necessary modules:

    import tkinter as tk
    import time
    

Next, create the main window for the digital clock:

    root = tk.Tk()
    root.title("Digital Clock")
    

Then, create a label to display the current time:

    clock_label = tk.Label(root, font=('calibri', 40, 'bold'), bg='black', fg='white')
    clock_label.pack(fill='both', expand='1')
    

Define a function to update the clock label with the current time:

    def update_clock():
        current_time = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
        clock_label.config(text=current_time)
        clock_label.after(1000, update_clock)
    

Finally, call the update_clock() function to start updating the clock label:

    update_clock()

    root.mainloop()
    

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a digital clock using Tkinter. You can customize the font, colors, and size of the clock label to suit your preferences. Feel free to explore more features of Tkinter and enhance your digital clock project further.
