I'm currently working with Tkinter and Python 2.7 on Linux and I was wondering if there was a way to remove the TK() window border frame and title bar without using overrideredirect(1).
I have my own close button and overrideredirect(1) presents me with a few issues that I can't accept:
I can't use attributes("-fullscreen", True) as the titlebar and borders remain.

Build A Paint Program With TKinter and Python To remove the title bar of a Tkinter window, we can use wm_attributes('type', 'value') method by specifying the type of property. In the following example, we will use 'fullscreen', a Boolean value that removes the title bar of the window.
For a particular application, if we have defined a Toplevel window, then we can close it using the destroy() method.
Creating an application using tkinter is easy but sometimes, it becomes difficult to close the window or the frame without closing it through the button on the title bar. In such cases, we can use the . destroy() method to close the window.
Tkinter withdraw method hides the window without destroying it internally. It is similar to the iconify method that turns a window into a small icon. Let us suppose we want to reveal the hidden window during the execution of an application then we can use deiconify() method.
The window decoration is all handled by the window manager so what you are trying to do is find a way to tell the window manager to decorate your window differently from a standard application window. Tk provides overrideredirect to have the window manager completely ignore this window but we can also use Extended Window Manager Hints to declare the intended use of this toplevel window to the window manager. This is done for instance for tooltip and splashscreen windows to allow the manager to provide minimal decoration and possibly special animations.
In your case, adding a 'splash' hint should do what you want
root = tk.Tk()
root.wm_attributes('-type', 'splash')
You will need Tk 8.5 or above for this.

You must give your root window name before your command.
Like this:
from tkinter import *
root=Tk()
root.wm_attributes('-fullscreen','true')
root.mainloop()
