Starting a Tkinter App on top
August 8th, 2011 by tekromancr received No Comments »I have been building a Tkinter App using python, but whenever I run python MySweetApp.py I ran into an issue where the app would appear behind my terminal window. This, of course, led to no end of frustration as I had to tab into the app window just to see if the changes I had made had the expected result. 10 mins worth of google searching later, and I found one line that will fix ALL THE THINGS!
root = Tk()
app = App(root)
root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1) #this line sets the root object as the topmost window
root.mainloop()
That fixed my problem. Now every time I run the script, the app spawns on top of all of the other windows.
