Turtle.Screen() Fullscreen on Program Startup

Question

I am trying to write some code that will start a Screen fullscreen (fill the whole screen without having to click the maximize button)

def __init__(self, states = 2):
    self.window = turtle.Screen()
    #self.window.screensize(1920,1080)
    self.window.title('States')
    self.turtles = []

self.window.screensize maxes the resolution 1920x1080, but only inside the small screen. To reach the full screen width and height, you have to maximize it. Any way of fixing this problem?

I had the same problem, that also works:

import turtle
screen = turtle.Screen()

  #set size:

screen.setup(width = 1.0, height = 1.0)

  #remove close,minimaze,maximaze buttons:
canvas = screen.getcanvas()
root = canvas.winfo_toplevel()
root.overrideredirect(1)

Well after many days of searching, i finally found a solution

self.window = turtle.Screen()
self.window.screensize(sizex, sizey)
self.window.setup(width=1.0, height=1.0, startx=None, starty=None)

The answer code didn't work for me in python3.5. I changed it to the following and it worked correctly.

wn.screensize()
wn.setup(width = 1.0, height = 1.0)

[`wn.screensize()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.screensize) doesn't do anything here. The docs say "If no arguments are given, return current (canvaswidth, canvasheight)" but you don't do anything with this tuple. – ggorlen Feb 28 '23 at 19:23

Steps for getting fullscreen ( proved in Replit ) :

Get the screen
Get the screen's tkinter root
Set the attribute -fullscreen to True

Code:

import turtle

screen = turtle.Screen()
screenTk = screen.getcanvas().winfo_toplevel()
screenTk.attributes("-fullscreen", True)

Same effect have `screen.getcanvas().master` and `from tkinter import Widget; Widget._nametowidget(screen.getcanvas(), name='.')` . It's the only true fullscreen, but ... with a thin border. So the remaining question is: > **Is there a way to make it borderless fullscreen?** (asked by VanGo Jan 15, 2021 at 7:48). – Claudio Jul 01 '22 at 00:00
I don't think so... – RixTheTyrunt Aug 24 '22 at 14:01

To get fullscreen, but still have the title bar and buttons use this. Tested.

screen = turtle.Screen()
screenTk = screen.getcanvas().winfo_toplevel()
# maximize window
screenTk.attributes("-zoom", 1)

import turtle

screen = turtle.Screen()

screen.setup(width = 1.0, height = 1.0)
