Description

Hello

After using customtkinter i have very strange problems with tkinter ending up in black screen on Mac M1. I tried to reproduce the problem it does not seem to be a problem with M1 since it works on another user on the same machine. Did anyone experience similar issues and how can i revert all the changes customtkinter did the tk interface? I have the feeling it has to do something with changing themes permanently.
