User Interface

Getting a Quote

  1. Open the Quote.py application following the installation steps.

  2. In the application window, you will see an empty quote and a “Get Quote” button.

  3. Click the “Get Quote” button.

  4. The application will send a request to an API to fetch a random technology-related quote.

Customizing Appearance

The application uses the “Poppins” font for displaying quotes and authors. You can customize the appearance by changing the font type in the source code by modifying the select_font function.

# Change the font type by passing "Medium" or "Regular" as an argument
quote_label = ttk.Label(frm, text="", font=(select_font("Medium"), 16), wraplength=650)
author_label = ttk.Label(frm, text="", font=(select_font("Regular"), 12))

Closing the Application

To close the application, simply close the Quote.py application window.

Enjoy exploring inspiring technology-related quotes!
