Fwd: Re: window on aqua without a titlebar

Thanks a lot, Kevin! It worked great....once I figured out that I had to 
put that code immediately after creating the toplevel window.  If I 
placed the code after doing anything else with toplevel, such as setting 
it's geometry, it didn't work.

Thanks, again!
Mike

ps that was fast!

The Tcl/Tk code on Aqua to achieve the effect you want looks something
like this:

  if {[string equal [tk windowingsystem] aqua]}  {
	::tk::unsupported::MacWindowStyle style $top help none
     }

where $top is a toplevel window. That doesn't grab focus.
