How can I improve the look of a window created in python?

Question

I want to create a window that does not look like a window from windows xp.

I want a plain box with no bar on the top. Is this possible?

I am trying to make a gui but I want a full screen fixed display. Btw I am using, or would like to use tkinter.

Answer 1

you can import ttk and use different styles within tkinter and create your own custom theme but apart from that not unless you use a different module (note ttk is a stock python module)

for example

import tkinter
from tkinter import ttk

mycolour = "color code here"
mybackground = "color code here"

style = ttk.Style()

style.theme_create( "custom_theme", parent="alt", settings={
    "TNotebook": {"configure": {"tabmargins": [2, 5, 2, 0] } },
    "TNotebook.Tab": {
        "configure": {"padding": [5, 1], "background": mycolour },
        "map":       {"background": [("selected", mybackground)],
                      "expand": [("selected", [1, 1, 1, 0])] } } } )


style.theme_use("custom_theme")

Answer 2

Supposing your toplevel is named toplevel, you can use wm_attributes to make it full-screen:

toplevel.wm_attributes('-fullscreen', '1')

Answer 3

Or you can do:

root.state('zoomed')

This would show it as a full screen app..
