I have raspi 3, and working on "Getting started with GUIs". I am currently on this page (https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-guis/11) and having trouble at the line where it says "size = 40." My IDE doesnt seem to recognize this line, which I mean the color of "40" doesnt change on my IDE. Matter of fact it shows an error after I press enter. I have installed and updated guizero and tkinter. Does anyone spot a problem and any solutions? Thanks.

Here below is the code btw.

from guizero import App, Text, TextBox, PushButton, Slider, Picture

def say_my_name():
    welcome_message.value = my_name.value

def change_text_size(slider_value):
    welcome_message.size = slider_value

app = App(title="Hello world")

welcome_message = Text(app, text="Welcome to my app", size=40, font="Times new roman", color="lightblue")
my_name = TextBox(app, width=30)
update_text = PushButton(app, command=say_my_name, text="Display my name")
text_size = Slider(app, command=change_text_size, start=10, end=80)
my_cat = Picture(app, image="cat.gif")

app.display()

  • Sorry I couldn't post it all at once, so I had to split it into 2. – Nozomu Harada Sep 22 '18 at 9:38
