Tk always on top

toku has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I work with PERL on Win32 (-_-). I made this silly little application that tells me the weather and I want to make Tk do a couple of things. First thing I want to do is remove the standard windows border. Kind of like you would do for a splash screen. That way I could make it smaller. The other thing I want to do it make it always appear on top of the other windows in the desktop. I know some applications (such as winamp) can do this, I am wondering how to do this in Tk. Is it even possible? Please let me know?

Take a look at Always on top with Win32 and tk - it looks like a solution was found. Hope this helps! In the future, try using Super Search first, then ask away! - Moon	[reply]

Thanks! That helped with the always on top part! But is there a way to change the frame from a standard windows frame to an unmanaged frame so that I can make my own frame?	[reply]

You might want to look at tk::splash	[reply]
