You could use canvas to achieve this as per attached snippet.

Hi
Kevin and Hexamorph,

I
understand your point.

The
choice of Python was done for its good and easy support for
my hardware (BeagleBone Black).

While
the project functionality is complete, I am now facing the
need to display small amount (3-5 strings) on the desktop as
I explained in previous posts.

During
my tests using many examples for various sources, I had the
text displayed in a borderless/title-less window, if only I
could make the background transparent, I could use this.

If
there is no solution using Python – I’ll search for a
solution to this in any other language and incorporate it in
my Python source.

I
just got Hexamorph’s reply – I’m off to dig into the option,
I am on Debian 7 with openbox WM.

Thanks
& Regards,

D.

Your previous question asked if there was a way to do this
without windows--that is absurd since drawing in and
displaying windows is all Tkinter does.

There may be ways to display text in the manner you describe
in a borderless window, but as far as doing so without a
window, no.
