Jeff Thanks for this, Jeff - I'll do some digging in the Tk docs. My problem is that I'm trying to use iconwindow() to use a colour image, as opposed to iconbitmap(), although if push comes to shove I suppose I could use that. Thanks again for the quick response - on Easter weekend too! Tim J -- Website: www DOT jarmania FULLSTOP com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
