Howto run CustomTkinter App in Kiosk Mode on Rasberry Pi 4

[chess-levin]

Hi @TomSchimansky ,

I've build a vlc frontend app with your great lib CustomTkinter. It was my 1st bigger Python project and it worked out well.

Now I would like to run this app on a raspi 4 in kiosk mode. The raspi should start directly into kiosk mode and show my vlc-frontend app in fullscreen mode - no windows, just the content pane of my app.

Is this possible and how is it done?

Thank you for your support

If it's possible with tkinter, then it's also possible with customtkinter.

The aproach will be same, check these resources:

Thanks. I'm going to try it.

Setting app-properties as described in this post works perfect! Thx @Akascape

But I don't get my app running with an autostart-configuration. My RaspiOS is configured to start without login - my default user is alredy logged in when the desktop is up.

I wrote this little script to set the python3 venv and finally start my app:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/showerradio
source showerradio_venv/bin/activate
python3 main_oop.py

Then I added an entry to my autostart config, but nothing happens when I reboot the raspi. I need some help here.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Showerradio
Exec=/home/radio/shwoerradio/run.sh

I don't even know where I could find a logfile that tells me what the problem is.

Need some help from you folks...
