Summary

In this chapter, we focused on advanced customization techniques in Streamlit. We delved into the new features that enable deep customization, allowing for more personalized and complex web pages. This chapter guided you through the process of creating highly customized pages, emphasizing the ability to tailor the user interface and functionality to specific requirements.

A significant portion of this chapter was dedicated to understanding theming and the use of TOML files. This involves exploring how themes can be manipulated to change the look and feel of a Streamlit app, making it more appealing and brand-aligned. The use of TOML files was explained in detail, demonstrating how they can be used to define and manage these themes efficiently.

Finally, this chapter explored Streamlit’s multi-pages feature. We learned how to structure a Streamlit application into multiple pages, thereby enhancing its organization and user navigation. We offered practical examples...
