[Tkinter-discuss] Re: Tkinter screen saver?

[Douglas S. Blank]

Great! Had missed "overrideredirect". For anyone that is interested, 
this project is really a program that runs on a hall computer LCD 
display. It will no doubt change (become more dynamic/customizable), but 
it currently displays images from a directory and has a ticker that runs 
across the bottom. You can see the current source at:

Suggestions/comments always welcome.

Thanks again,

-Doug
