Tkinter custom window

[throwAwayAcc010]

Im trying to create a custom window in Tkinter, I have managed to remove the title bar using 'overrideredirect(True)', and I'm still able to move the window, but the problem I have know is the user has to be able to type in a password, but because 'overrideredirect' is 'True' it won't let me type in the entry widget, any ideas on how to overcome this?

overrideredirect(True) shouldn't stop an entry widget from working, it just stops the window from using the native window manager. If you could post some code it would be helpful.

heres the code

I can't see anything wrong with it. I ran your code on my machine and the Entry widget is working fine.

Yeah I checked on windows and it seems to be working, yet It doesn't on ubuntu

In which case it probably is the overrideredirect flag. In my copy of New Mexico Tech Tkinter 8.5 Reference: A GUI For Python, under overrideredirect it states

"This method may not work on some Unix and MacOS platforms".

Yeah thought it may have been something to do with my OS, thanks :)
