_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "1"

[jcarlosroldan]

When running any of the examples on Python 3.8 over Windows 10, I get the same "unknown color name" error.

When I run

from overlay import Window

win = Window()
Window.launch()

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Desktop\test.py", line 3, in <module>
    win = Window()
  File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\overlay\window.py", line 63, in __init__
    self._root.wm_attributes('-transparent', True)
  File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1788, in wm_attributes
    return self.tk.call(args)
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "1"

Where and what to replace? I am in window.py and I clicked Ctrl + F (find), and there is no "True //self._root.wm_attributes('-transparent', True)"

You need to replace self._root.wm_attributes('-transparent', True) with self._root.wm_attributes('-transparent', "white") (= replace True with "white")
