I am trying to combine tkinter and pyglet into one application. Using tkinter for the gui, one component of which is a canvas and I would like to use pyglet to paint/draw on that canvas. Is this possible? Examples I found show two separate windows. That's not what I'm looking for.

Here is my problem. I developed a tkinter GUI for my project. However I am stuck with tkinter limitations. I developed python gui to create a virtual view for a red table as below. The window does not have any border or title. It is just put on the a picture background which is outside of the code.
However as you can see it is not lively enough for me. I want it to look like this:
Is there a way to do this in tkinter? I tried transparent backgrounds, however in Ubuntu transparent background with visible object is not possible. Also You cannot make different window shapes other than rectangle. What is your suggestions? Should I use another library. I really need an expert opinion about this.

Different window shape other than rectangle
My environment : Ubuntu 16.04 Python 3.5.2
You can't specifically change the shape of a Tkinter Window, but you can create a canvas and design your own shape (then add your buttons and labels on this canvas if needed).
You can also take a look at PyQt or Kivy, but if you are confortable with Tkinter go with Canvas.
So to solve my issue I found a python library wxPython:
You can check this link it creates Wx non rectangular shape
It creates the the window using inheritence. I tried selected answer and It solved my question.
Btw I tried QTPython, Kivy, tkinter. Non of them had straight example such wxPython.
Is there any options available in Python tkinter that can be used to build a modern-day GUI. For instance, we can change the style of a button, etc. In short, I want to change the whole look & feel of the GUI.

So, I am trying to make a video game in Tkinter (no, I don't want to use PyGame), but I have ran into a bit of a problem.
I have realized that sometimes you may want to have two widgets overlap (e.g. sprite on top of background) but have the contents of both widgets to be visible. For example, I might have a sprite with transparent sections.
How do I set the "background" option of a widget so that there is no visible background?
Note: "you can't do this" answers are acceptable.
This is not really posible in Tkinter. But you can set the transparency of the whole window with root.attributes('-alpha', 0.5)
For windows, you can do root.attributes("-transparentcolor", "red"), but again it will be applied to the whole window, not just the single widget.
For example like those gadget where is a figure walking around the screen, or any graphics not bounded inside rectangular window, and even is interactive ?
The trick is to do a transparent window and hide the title bar
both are feasible with most graphic library but will be rarely cross platform
I will advise you to look at this question to hide the title bar with tkinter
Tkinter doesn't support transparency so you may need to use wxPython instead
I want to have two (or more) sets of widgets which are switched to each other in the same window.
Is there a specialized stacked widget layout in GTK?
If not, what is the shortest way to implement this behavior?
Thanks
There is a widget for this: GtkStack, available in GTK 3.10 and later.
If you don't have GTK 3.10, you can do much the same thing (but without animations) by putting the widgets in a GtkNotebook and making the notebook tabs invisible.
