Separator#

Separator is the native ttk thin horizontal or vertical dividing line (ttk.Separator), themed by ttkbootstrap. This page is the complete reference for its options, methods, and styling.

Options#

Each option can be set in the constructor and changed later with configure().

Option	Type	Description
`bootstyle`	`str`	Constructor keyword. An accent color, optionally with a variant. See Styling options for the available styles.
`orient`	`str`	The layout direction: `"horizontal"` or `"vertical"`.
`cursor`	`str`	The mouse cursor over the separator (see Cursors).
`takefocus`	`bool`	Whether the separator accepts keyboard focus during traversal.

Styling options#

This section is for changing how the separator looks. Define a style with style.configure(...) (and style.map(...) for per-state colors), then apply it with Separator(style=...).

Bootstyle mapping#

Any of the accent colors – primary, secondary, success, info, warning, danger, light, dark – substitutes for primary below. neutral does not apply to this family.

A vertical widget resolves to the Vertical. twin of each style name above.

`bootstyle`	ttk style name
`primary`	`primary.Horizontal.TSeparator`

Layout (elements)#

The widget is drawn from these nested parts. Each is an element you can target by name in a custom layout:

primary.Horizontal.Separator.separator

Configurable style options#

Options you can set with style.configure(...) / style.map(...):

(none)

Supported states#

This style declares no style.map(...) overrides; any state-dependent appearance is drawn from its image elements.

Hand-styling example#

import ttkbootstrap as ttk

app = ttk.App()
style = app.style

style.configure("my.Horizontal.TSeparator", background="#3498db", foreground="white")
ttk.Separator(app, style="my.Horizontal.TSeparator").pack(padx=8, pady=8)

app.mainloop()

Shared capabilities#

Separator also has the methods every widget inherits — configuration, placement, event binding, lifecycle, focus, and introspection — plus the ttk state methods state / instate / identify. These are documented under Capabilities.
