thanks! | true | 1,927,475 | 1.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | No, there isn't an option. You need to adjust your padding so that the scrollbar doesn't extend all the way to the bottom of the window. Perhaps the easiest way is to add a statusbar that extends across the bottom of the window. | 0 | 204 | 0 | 1 | 2009-12-18T10:44:00.000 | python,user-interface,tkinter | Python - Tkinter - Padding woes | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1,927,946 | 1 |
0 | 0 | I have a scrollbar widget that ALWAYS hides the last 15 px under the resize button, is there an option to stop this happening on mac or a padding "under" the widget option?\

Been trying the .modify_bg and .modify_fg methods, but none affect the way this thing looks.
