Transparent backgrounds on buttons in Tkinter

I have Button

with a button image, but when it is in my window, the background of the button collides with the background of the window. This is a .png image but tkinter

seems to want to save the image as a quad by adding gray space. Is there a way to make the white space of the button transparent so that you are only left with the button image?

I am using Python 3.4.2 on Windows 8.

If you are using .png with import PIL

, python supports transparency.

However, the tkinter

widget .Button

does not support transparency.

So, you will have a transparent image on top of a solid background.



If you are a Windows user, the best solution is:
