This works OK. But I notice that if I enlarge the window after the script has run, the white listbox only gets "so" big while the grey background enlarges.
Is there a way to have it all white when I enlarge a window - like what normally happens? from Tkinter import * root = Tk() root.title("Dirty Words") scrollbar = Scrollbar(root) scrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y) listbox = Listbox(root, bg='white', font = "Courier 16", width=60) listbox.pack() i='123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' for x in range(10): listbox.insert(END, i) listbox.config(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set) scrollbar.config(command=listbox.yview) mainloop() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
