I tried this (although, my tl is actually a tk instance):

self.tk.call(::tk::unsupported::MacWindowStyle, style, self.tk._w,
plain, none)

and get this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ./ProgramCountdown.py, line 120, in module

  File ./ProgramCountdown.py, line 37, in __init__
self.tk.call(::tk::unsupported::MacWindowStyle, style,
self.tk._w, plain, none)
_tkinter.TclError: bad class: should be alert, moveableAlert, modal,
moveableModal, floating, help, or document

Any thoughts? Can you do something similar on the tk instance itself?




Try something like this (assuming self.tk._w is the name of your window):

self.tk._w.wm_attributes(fullscreen='true')

 Is there a way to create a full screen app using Tkinter with Mac OS
 X?? On windows, this is relatively easy with overrideredirect(1).
 However, on the Mac, the top menu bar and dock are still displayed
 over the app. Is there a way to get rid of them?


You could try this, supposing tl is a toplevel:

tl.tk.call(::tk::unsupported::MacWindowStyle, style, tl._w, plain, none)

and if you are using python with tk 8.5 or newer (unlikely):

tl.wm_attributes('-fullscreen', 1)

But I don't have a mac, so I can't say for sure if these solve your problem.

 Thanks.
