You can use the Tk option database, either explicitly or from a file. For example, to set the wrap length of all dialogs to 10 inches, try this: root = Tk() root.option_add(*Dialog.msg.wrapLength, 10i) . . . But that does *not* affect the MessageBoxes under MacOS and Windows, right? I apologize for my coyness. I'll be explicit: current MessageBoxes under MacOS and Windows (but NOT X11-based MessageBoxes, as with Linux) do NOT respect Dialog options. Tkinter will presumably build in Tile capabilities in the future; then the default appearances may change again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks Rahul I don't know of any. It's a little more work but your better off using Toplevel and/or frame, you have more control over the window and its appearance. . . . Yes and no. Yes, synthesizing ones own MessageBox gives greater control, but that becomes a non-native MessageBox which is alleged to discomfort some end-users. 'Nother way to say this: tkMessageBox is implemented in terms of native widgets, as much as possible, and native MessageBoxes on at least some platforms do NOT provide for resizing or width control. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
