There are a number of 'easy to use' Python GUIs, but they're **very** limiting. PySimpleGUI takes the best of packages like `EasyGUI`(no longer maintained) and `WxSimpleGUI` (a great package, but limited). The primary difference between these and PySimpleGUI is that in addition to getting those simple Message Boxes you also get the ability to make your own forms that are highly customizeable. Don't like the standard Message Box? Then make your own!

It's important to use the "with" context manager so that resources are freed as quickly as possible, using the currently executing thread. PySimpleGUI uses `tkinter`. `tkinter` is very picky about who releases objects and when. The `with` takes care of disposing of everything properly for you.

|

**Button Images**
|
||||
Now this is an exciting feature not found in many simplified packages.... images on buttons! You can make a pretty spiffy user interface with the help of a few button images.
|
||||
|
||||
Your button images need to be in PNG or GIF format. When you make a button with an image, set the button background to the same color as the background. There's a button color TRANSPARENT_BUTTON that you can set your button color to.
|
||||
|
||||
This example comes from the `Demo Media Player.py` example program. Because it's a non-blocking button, it's defined as `ReadFormButton`. You also put images on blocking buttons by using `SimpleButton`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
sg.ReadFormButton('Restart Song', button_color=sg.TRANSPARENT_BUTTON,
|
||||
image_filename=image_restart, image_size=(50, 50), image_subsample=2, border_width=0)
|
||||
|
||||
Three parameters are used for button images.
|
||||
|
||||
image_filename - Filename. Can be a relative path
|
||||
image_size - Size of image file in pixels
|
||||
image_subsample - Amount to divide the size by. 2 means your image will be 1/2 the size. 3 means 1/3
|
||||
|
||||
This is one you'll have to experiment with at this point. Not up for an exhaustive explanation.
|
||||
|

||||
**File Types**

||||
The `FileBrowse` button has an additional setting named `file_types`. This variable is used to filter the files shown in the file dialog box. The default value for this setting is
