Hi, I am just starting to learn Python GUI programming with Tkinter. The majority of examples on net and books show the widgets and windows in typical MS Windows style (i.e the blue top border, holding the maximizing, minimizing and cancelling buttons), as shown in the first picture. Is there any way to customize the display of widgets to yield a GUI like, say, in the second picture?

For more better looking GUI look into wxpython,PyQt(pyside),PyGTK.

You mean with PyQT or Wxpython it's possible to make customized GUIs, while with Tkinter it is not possible? Man, that sucks! Had I known it before, I would have learnt Wxpython first!
