Python Tkinter application fit on screen

Question

I have designed an application using the Tkinter module from Python, on my 17" screen.

Is there a way to make this app fit on lower resolution screens? I have tried to run it on a 14" screen, and the app doesn`t fit well.

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can get the screen resolution then input them in your root.geometry, this way:

from Tkinker import *

root = Tk()

width, height = root.winfo_screenwidth(), root.winfo_screenheight()

root.geometry('%dx%d+0+0' % (width,height))

root.mainloop()

Answer 2

You need to use this one line:

root.state('zoomed') #works on all operating systems

root = tkinter.Tk()
root.state('zoomed')

This will fit the window perfectly to the display. (Note: This is not full screen function. Full screen means the window will also cover the taskbar, but in this code window fits all over the screen except the taskbar)
