Removing minimize/maximize buttons in Tkinter
In general, what decorations the WM (window manager) decides to display can not be easily dictated by a toolkit like Tkinter. So let me summarize what I know plus what I found:
import Tkinter as tkroot= tk.Tk()root.title("wm min/max")# this removes the maximize buttonroot.resizable(0,0)# # if on MS Windows, this might do the trick,# # but I wouldn't know:# root.attributes(toolwindow=1)# # for no window manager decorations at all:# root.overrideredirect(1)# # useful for something like a splash screenroot.mainloop()
There is also the possibility that, for a Toplevel
window other than the root one, you can do:
toplevel.transient(1)
and this will remove the min/max buttons, but it also depends on the window manager. From what I read, the MS Windows WM does remove them.
from tkinter import *qw=Tk()qw.resizable(0,0) #will disable max/min tab of windowqw.mainloop()
from tkinter import *qw=Tk()qw.overrideredirect(1) # will remove the top badge of windowqw.mainloop()
here are the two ways to disable maximize and minimize option in tkinter
remember the code for button shown in image is not in example as this is solution regarding how to make max/min tab nonfunctional or how to remove
Windows
For windows, you can use -toolwindow attribute like that:
root.attributes('-toolwindow', True)
So if you want complete code, it's that
from tkinter import *from tkinter import ttkroot = Tk()root.attributes('-toolwindow', True)root.mainloop()
Other window.attributes attributes:
-alpha-transparentcolor-disabled-fullscreen-toolwindow-topmost
Important note this is only working with Windows. Not MacOS
Mac
With mac you can use overredirect attribute and a "x" button to close the window and this will do the job. :D like that:
from tkinter import *from tkinter import ttkwindow = Tk()window.overredirect(True)Button(window, text="x", command=window.destroy).pack()window.mainloop()

For me, it's working, i have a windows 7.
Comment me if i have a error.
