I have a GUI, that I need to run on Windows from a Linux machine. A top level window is created, and I would like to maximize this window, keeping the menu bar. 

mytop = Toplevel()
mytop.wm_attributes("-zoomed", "1")

The above snippet works perfectly in Linux, but does not work when X-forwarding through Putty. I've found other commands, that are said to work for windows but they don't work either, and I suspect it has something to do with forwarding the GUI.

Thoughts are appreciated.

  • try ```-fullscreen``` which i think is right – Joshua Nixon Jun 21 '17 at 15:27
  • I have just run your code and the answer is actually essentially in the callback ```_tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm attributes window ?-alpha ?double?? ?-transparentcolor ?color?? ?-disabled ?bool?? ?-fullscreen ?bool?? ?-toolwindow ?bool?? ?-topmost ?bool??"``` – Joshua Nixon Jun 21 '17 at 15:29
  • mytop.wm_attributes("-fullscreen", True) does not work either. I get a tiny little window with the title. I forgot to mention in the OP, that in the toplevel is a scrolledtext box that seems to be created anymore, scrolledtext is packed with expand=True – st.ph.n Jun 21 '17 at 15:34
  • mytop.wm_attributes("-fullscreen", True) does work when running from IDLE on Windows, but not through X-forward. – st.ph.n Jun 21 '17 at 15:44
