UI Components

The application's user interface is built from several modular components, each encapsulated in its own Python module. These components are located in the components/ directory.

Main Application (App.py)

App.py is the main class for the application. It inherits from customtkinter.CTk and serves as the root window. Its responsibilities include:

  • Initializing the main application window and its theme (light/dark mode).
  • Assembling the main components: Menubar, Statusbar, and Notebook.
  • Handling the application's lifecycle and theme toggling.

Notebook (components/Notebook/Notebook.py)

The Notebook class creates the main tabbed interface of the application using customtkinter.CTkTabview. It is responsible for:

  • Creating and managing the different tabs.
  • Instantiating the content for each tab.

Notebook Tabs

Each tab in the notebook is a customtkinter.CTkFrame subclass, allowing for a clean separation of concerns. The main tabs are:

  • GeneralTab.py: Provides buttons for launching PowerShell consoles.
  • AdvancedTab.py: Contains buttons for various system and machine configuration tasks (e.g., activating RDP, setting computer name).
  • ADTab.py: Contains functionalities related to Active Directory management (e.g., joining a domain, installing AD).
  • CreateVMTab.py: Offers a detailed form for creating a new Hyper-V virtual machine, with options for specifying the ISO, edition, resources, and network settings. This is one of the core features of the application.
  • AzureTab.py: Provides buttons for common Azure administrative tasks.
  • QuickShellTab.py: Provides a simple interface for running quick PowerShell commands and viewing their output.

Other Components

  • Menubar.py: Defines the application's top menu bar (currently unused by default in the customtkinter version).
  • Statusbar.py: Creates a dynamic status bar at the bottom of the application window. It provides at-a-glance information about the system's health and configuration.
    • Features:
      • Comprehensive Info: Displays key data such as User, OS, RDP Status, Uptime, CPU/Memory/Disk Usage, and VM Detection.
      • Grouped Information: Data is organized into logical groups (System, Hardware, Network) for clarity.
      • Compact Network Display: Uses a CTkComboBox to list all network interfaces, preventing UI clutter.
    • Implementation: It contains a SystemInfo class for data gathering logic, which is separate from the UI.
  • State.py: Manages the application's shared state (not fully implemented in the current version).
