I could use a coffee! It fuels consultants, editors, domain registration and so many other things required for PySimpleGUI to be a thriving project. Every donation helps, and help is needed and appreciated.
The results have been fascinating to witness and it's been touching to read the accounts of the journeys of users.
Nothing prepared me for the emails that started to arrive soon after the first release of PySimpleGUI. They are heartwarming and heartbreaking tales of life-long dreams of creating a program that required a GUI. Some made a few attempts, giving up each time. Others never started once they started to research what was required.
After recounting the varied and long road to finding PySimpleGUI, the stories became similar. They each found success and expressed joy and gratitude. The joy expressed in these messages was unlike anything I had encountered in the entirety of career in the computing field.
It's been these emails and the messages of gratitude seen here in the GitHub Issues that made dedicating my life to his project a non-decision.
And here's what it looks like after you enter a value into the Input field and click the Ok button.
Let's take a quick look at some of the differences between this example and the one-shot window.
First, you'll notice differences in the layout. Two changes in particular are important. One is the addition of the 
The parameters available for each element are documented in both the call reference documentation as well as the docstrings. PySimpleGUI has extensive documentation to help you understand all of the options available to you. If you lookup the 
As you can see several things can be changed for a 
Using lists to define your GUI has some huge advantages over how GUI programming is done using other frameworks. For example, you can use Python's list comprehension to create a grid of buttons in a single line of code.
These 3 lines of code:
Recall how "fun" is one of the goals of the project. It's fun to directly apply Python's powerful basic capabilities to GUI problems. Instead of pages of code to create a GUI, it's a few (or often 1) lines of code.
The other window will output what is collected.
The default settings for GUI frameworks don't tend to produce the nicest looking windows. However, with some attention to detail, you can do several things to make windows look attractive. PySimpleGUI makes it easier to manipulate colors and features like removing the title bar. The result is windows that don't look like your typical tkinter windows.
Here is an example of how you can create windows that don't look like your typical tkinter in windows. In this example, the windows have their titlebars removed. The result is windows that look much like those found when using Rainmeter, a desktop widget program.
Both of these effects; removing the titlebar and making a window semi-transparent, are achieved by setting 2 parameters when creating the window. This is an example of how PySimpleGUI enables easy access to features. And because PySimpleGUI code is portable across the GUI frameworks, these same parameters work for the other ports such as Qt.
Changing the Window creation call in Example 1 to this line of code produces a similar semi-transparent window:
This Chess program not only plays chess, but it integrates with the Stockfish chess-playing AI.
Several variants of Minesweeper have been released by users.
Capturing and displaying video from your webcam in a GUI is 4 lines of PySimpleGUI code. Even more impressive is that these 4 lines of code work with the tkinter, Qt, and Web ports. You can display your webcam, in realtime, in a browser using the same code that displays the image using tkinter.
Media playback, audio and video, can also be achieved using the VLC player. A demo application is provided to you so that you have a working example to start from. Everything you see in this readme is available to you as a starting point for your own creations.
AI and Python have long been a recognized superpower when the two are paired together. What's often missing however is a way for users to interact with these AI algorithms familiarly, using a GUI.
These YOLO demos are a great example of how a GUI can make a tremendous difference in interacting with AI algorithms. Notice two sliders at the bottom of these windows. These 2 sliders change a couple of the parameters used by the YOLO algorithm.
If you were tuning your YOLO demo using only the command line, you would need to set the parameters, once, when you launch the application, see how they perform, stop the application, change the parameters, and finally restart the application with the new parameters.
Contrast those steps against what can be done using a GUI. A GUI enables you to modify these parameters in real-time. You can immediately get feedback on how they are affecting the algorithm.
There are SO many AI programs that have been published that are command-line driven. This in itself isn't a huge hurdle, but it's enough of a "pain in the ass" to type/paste the filename you want to colorize on the command line, run the program, then open the resulting output file in a file viewer.
GUIs have the power to change the user experience, to fill the "GUI Gap". With this colorizer example, the user only needs to supply a folder full of images, and then click on an image to both colorize and display the result.
The program/algorithm to do the colorization was freely available, ready to use. What was missing is the ease of use that a GUI could bring.
Displaying and interacting with data in a GUI is simple with PySimpleGUI. You have several options.
You can use the built-in drawing/graphing capabilities to produce custom graphs. This CPU usage monitor uses the 
Matplotlib is a popular choice with Python users. PySimpleGUI can enable you to embed Matplotlib graphs directly into your GUI window. You can even embed the interactive controls into your window if you want to retain the Matplotlib interactive features.
Using PySimpleGUI's color themes, you can produce graphs that are a notch above default graphs that most people create in Matplotlib.
The "GUI Gap" mentioned earlier can be easily solved using PySimpleGUI. You don't even need to have the source code to the program you wish to add a GUI onto. A "front-end" GUI is one that collects information that is then passed to a command-line application.
Front-end GUIs are a fantastic way for a programmer to distribute an application that users were reluctant to use previously because they didn't feel comfortable using a command-line interface. These GUIs are your only choice for command-line programs that you don't have access to the source code for.
This example is a front-end for a program called "Jump Cutter". The parameters are collected via the GUI, a command-line is constructed using those parameters, and then the command is executed with the output from the command-line program being routed to the GUI interface. In this example, you can see in yellow the command that was executed.
Because PySimpleGUI is compatible back to Python 3.4, it is capable of creating a GUI for your Raspberry Pi projects. It works particularly well when paired with a touchscreen. You can also use PySimpleGUIWeb to control your Pi if it doesn't have a monitor attached.
Because it's very easy to access many of the underlying GUI frameworks' features, it's possible to piece together capabilities to create applications that look nothing like those produced using the GUI framework directly.
For example, it's not possible to change the color/look-and-feel of a titlebar using tkinter or the other GUI packages, but with PySimpleGUI it's easy to create windows that appear as if they have a custom titlebar.
Unbelievably, this window is using tkinter to achieve what appears to be something like a screensaver.
On windows, tkinter can completely remove the background from your application. Once again, PySimpleGUI makes accessing these capabilities trivial. Creating a transparent window requires adding a single parameter to the call that creates your 
With most GUI frameworks, you must specify the color for every widget you create. PySimpleGUI takes this chore from you and will automatically color the Elements to match your chosen theme.
To use a theme, call the 
The theme changed colors of the background, text, input background, input text, and button colors. In other GUI packages, to change color schemes like this, you would need to specify the colors of each widget individually, requiring numerous changes to your code.
The GitHub recurring sponsorship is how you can sponsor the project at varying levels of support on an ongoing basis. It's how many Open Source developers are able to receive corporate level sponsorship.
Your help in financially contributing to the project would be greatly appreciated. Being an Open Source developer is financially challenging. YouTube video creators are able to make a living creating videos. It's not so easy yet for Open Source developers.
