How to make a StringVar with multiple colors in Tkinter?

Question

Let's say we have a StringVar :

string_var = tk.StringVar(value="Red, Blue")
string_var.configure(fg='red')

Is it possible to configure this StringVar so that 'Red' will be colored red, and 'Blue' will be colored blue?

Answer 1

It is not possible. Instances of StringVar and the other tkinter variables don't have a visual representation.

The best option for text with multiple colors is to use a Text or Canvas widget. Both of those have the ability to add color to groups of text.
