I'm looking to add an image in the background of a Text widget in tkinter, but as far as I'm concerned, that is not possible. So, to work around this, I'm wondering if it is possible to make the background of a Text widget transparent.
Thanks in advance.
It is anyway not possible to do so (without canvas), but if you really need it here's a hack:

Go to paint
Open the image you want and type in the text on it in whatever colour or font you want
Set this image as your background in the frame that you want
You can then add whatever buttons you want and place them wherever you want. 

I know this is inconvenient but sometimes useful.
