Hi You could use canvas to achieve this as per attached snippet.

Your previous question asked if there was a way to do this without windows--that is absurd since drawing in and displaying windows is all Tkinter does. There may be ways to display text in the manner you describe in a borderless window, but as far as doing so without a window, no. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin/Mobile Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com http://www.wtmobilesoftware.com _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
