Key Features

1. Vertical CTkSwitch (SwitchConBorde)

• Vertical & Horizontal Support: Dynamic orientation control via orientation="vertical" or orientation="horizontal".
• Border-Free & Compact: Clean design optimized for toolbar panels where horizontal space is critical.
• Smart Alignment: Automatically repositions text labels (top/bottom/left/right) while keeping full theme and scaling compatibility.

2. CTkOptionMenu with Icons (DropdownMenu)

• Rich Dropdown Lists: Associate custom PIL/CTkImages with each item in your option menu list.
• Improved Window Management: Floating dropdown automatically manages loss-of-focus and cleans up properly upon parent window movement or resizing.
• Smooth Scroll: Handles large option lists cleanly with embedded scrolling support.
