What do you mean for "minimize" ? Iconify? If yes, try this: `use strict; use Tk; my $mw = new MainWindow; $mw->Frame(-width=>200, height =>25); $mw->Button(-text => "Maximize", -command => sub {$mw->geometry($mw->screenwidth . "x" . $mw->s +creenheight . "+0+0")}) ->pack(); $mw->Button(-text => "Minimize", -command => sub {$mw->iconify;}) ->pack(); $mw->Button(-text => "Close", -command => sub {exit;}) ->pack(); MainLoop;` [download] You can try perldoc Tk::Wm	[reply] [d/l]

I found a better way simply: $mw->iconify; # Minimize $mw->deiconify; # Restore $mw->state('withdrawn'); # Hide $mw->state('normal'); # Show	[reply]

States: must be normal, iconic, withdrawn, or zoomed. `$mainwindow->state('zoomed'); #maximize` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
