w = Entry( master, option, ... )

 

Parameters

• Bg - The background is used to change normal background color.
• Fg - The fg is used to change the normal foreground (text) color.
• Font - The font is used to change the text font to be used for the button's label.
• Cursor - The cursor is used to set this option to a cursor name, the mouse cursor will change to that pattern when it is over the entry.

login.title("Login")
login.geometry("300x250")
Label(login, text = "Username", bg = "pink", bd = 10, \fg = "black", font = "Castellar").pack()
username = Entry(login, textvariable = "username", \bg = "green", bd = 10, fg = "white", font = "Castellar", cursor = "target")
username.pack()
Label(login, text = "Password", bg = "pink", bd = 10, \fg = "black", font = "Castellar").pack()
password = Entry(login, textvariable = "password", \show = '*', bg = "green", bd = 10, fg = "white", font = "Castellar", cursor = "target")
