Hi, I ran the following on my Mac running python2.5.2 under Panther: from Tkinter import*
root = Tk() cwgt=Canvas(root) cwgt.pack(expand=True, fill=BOTH) image1=PhotoImage(file="pict.gif") # keep a link to the image to stop the image being garbage collected cwgt.img=image1 cwgt.create_image(0, 0, anchor=NW, image=image1) b1=Button(cwgt, text="Hello", bd=0) cwgt.create_window(20,20, window=b1, anchor=NW) root.mainloop() (supply your own 'pict.gif') The canvas shows the image as background, and the button on top, functional. However, the button's normal border is there in white (see img below).Would be good to have a button with a transaprent background, but buttons in Mac Tkinter are the MacOS buttons, which are hard to change.
