Tkinter window size

[xleon]

from Tkinter import *
import sys

Root=Tk()
RTitle=Root.title("Windows")
RWidth=Root.winfo_screenwidth()
RHeight=Root.winfo_screenheight()
Root.geometry("%dx%d")%(RWidth,RHeight))

mainloop()

Hello. When I run this code the window takes up the entire screen(win7).but remains below the bottom of the window portion of the taskbar. Even if the screen size is changed automatically carry out this.According to the height and width of the window to the taskbar. How can I do it?
Thanks

I don't have Windows 7 but the code you posted has a syntax error.

#Root.geometry("%dx%d")%(RWidth,RHeight) #_tkinter.TclError: bad geometry specifier "%dx%d"
#Replace with the following line
Root.geometry("%dx%d+0+0" % (RWidth, RHeight))

import sys

Root=Tk()
RTitle=Root.title("Windows")
RWidth=Root.winfo_screenwidth()
RHeight=Root.winfo_screenheight()
Root.geometry(("%dx%d")%(RWidth,RHeight))

mainloop()

I forgot a bracket there. I corrected it. can you try again? thanks

That runs OK for me. I get a full-size blank window with "Windows" title bar. There's no scroll bar so I assume it fits as it should. My platform is Linux so maybe your problem is specific to Windows 7.

No it's not a specific problem. You should use:

root.minsize(min_x, min_y)
root.maxsize(max_x, max_y)

Also, use code tags. If you want the window to be a fixed size, I just set the minimum and maximum as the same. I've got a youtube video explaining stuff about Tkinter windows. Infact, I have a whole 10 video tutorial series to help people with Tkinter.
