Some widgets dont show till mouse moves

[Cromwell1963]

I have just been trying ttkbootstrap for the first and really like it.

I am having a couple of problems; some times i find that certain widgets,
in this case Meters , don't show up until I move the mouse. They are just empty space until then. Any ideas?
thanks

I would appreciate it if you could provide any kind of code. I don't have the problems, that you describe.

Thank you, I think i will have to look at this further, I have also noticed that while my widgets are styled, the frames are not.
I notice in the demo app that the frames are not given a obrder width, in my app they do not show any border unless "border" sizes are set. I will investigate further. thanks

This is my code

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *
from ttkbootstrap.dialogs import Messagebox
from ttkbootstrap.scrolled import ScrolledText


class GUIFrames:
    def __init__(self, master, *args, border: int = 3, **kwargs):

        main = ttk.Frame(master)
        main.grid_rowconfigure(index=0, weight=8)
        main.grid_rowconfigure(index=1, weight=2)

        main.grid_columnconfigure(index=0, weight=7)
        main.grid_columnconfigure(index=1, weight=11)
        main.grid_columnconfigure(index=2, weight=0)

        main.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky="nswe", padx=0, pady=0)

        self.left_frame = ttk.Frame(main, border=3)
        self.left_frame.grid(
            row=0, column=0, rowspan=2, padx=(10, 3), pady=10, sticky="nswe"
        )
        self.left_frame["relief"] = "solid"

        self.middle_frame1 = ttk.Frame(
            main,
            border=3,
        )
        self.middle_frame1.grid(
            row=0, column=1, padx=(3, 3), pady=(10, 3), sticky="nswe"
        )
        self.middle_frame1["relief"] = "solid"

        self.middle_frame2 = ttk.Frame(
            main,
            border=3,
        )
        self.middle_frame2.grid(
            row=1, column=1, padx=(3, 3), pady=(3, 10), sticky="nswe"
        )
        self.middle_frame2["relief"] = "solid"

        self.right_frame = ttk.Frame(main, width=300)

        self.right_frame.grid(
            row=0, column=2, rowspan=3, padx=(3, 0), pady=(10, 10), sticky="nswe"
        )
        self.right_frame.grid_propagate(False)

        self.right_frame.grid_rowconfigure(index=0, weight=0)
        self.right_frame.grid_rowconfigure(index=1, weight=0)
        self.right_frame.grid_rowconfigure(index=2, weight=1)
        self.right_frame.grid_rowconfigure(index=3, weight=0)
        self.right_frame.grid_rowconfigure(index=4, weight=0)

        self.right_frame.grid_columnconfigure(index=0, weight=1)


class GUI:
    def make(self):

        app = ttk.Window(
            title="My Application",
            size=(1920, 1080),
            minsize=(1920, 1080),
            resizable=(True, True),
            hdpi=False,
            themename="vapor",
        )

        app.grid_rowconfigure(index=0, weight=1)
        app.grid_columnconfigure(index=0, weight=1)

        self.app_frames = GUIFrames(app)

        app.mainloop()
        return app


if __name__ == "__main__":

    gui = GUI()
    gui.make()

The frames only show if I specify a border, unlike the demo app, and the frames to do not adopt the default colour for the style. I have removed the widgets for simplicity of course.
thanks

Setting the border does nothing. Only when you adjust the relief, the style changes. I have to pass here, I think. I also didn't manage to make a border with bootstrap right away. Maybe you can alternatively use a labelframe, but the thickness of the border can't be adjusted there either, as far as I can tell.
