[Tkinter-discuss] Transparent messages

[Chris Niekel]

Hi,

I read this article
http://www.humanized.com/weblog/2006/09/11/monolog_boxes_and_transparent_messages/
or http://tinyurl.com/k5jed and thought it'd be nice to play with this.

Does anyone have an idea how this could be done with tkinter? For those who
don't want to see the article, they suggest an alternative to a
messagedialog, by showing a semi-transparent widget in the window, which
disappears upon user-activity.

I'm not so good at tkinter yet, but I'd love to use something like this. 

Regards,
Chris Niekel
