Full-screen display in Tkinter

[Svein Brekke]

I am building a slide show application with Tkinter, and need
to create a full-screen window, i.e. supressing title bar
and start menu etc.

Is that supported in Tkinter?
I work on Win2000 with python 2.2, but would like my code to
be portable to other platforms.

Any help or hints will be appreciated.

root=Tk()
root.geometry(your_geometry)
root.overrideredirect(1)

your_geometry is:
"%dx%d%+d%+d" % (width, height, xoffset, yoffset)

root = Tk()

# make it cover the entire screen
w, h = root.winfo_screenwidth(), root.winfo_screenheight()
root.overrideredirect(1)
root.geometry("%dx%d+0+0" % (w, h))

By the way, unless this is a turnkey application, I think most people find
this sort of behavior by a program (even installers) to be very annoying.

Just an FYI that PythonCard http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ comes with a
slideshow sample that displays images in a window or full screen. The
version in cvs that will be in the next release can also display HTML.
PythonCard uses wxPython, not tkinter, so it doesn't solve your tk needs,
but wxPython/PythonCard is cross-platform.
