This command exists since Tk 8.4 and sets or retrieves window-specific attributes. The command is different for each platform. I know the possible options for Windows98 and it seems there are no options to this command with Linux. '''Windows (98) options''': All options take a true/false value ''-toolwindow'' makes a window with a single close-button (which is smaller than usual) on the right of the title bar ''-topmost'' makes sure the window always stays on top of all other windows ''-disabled'' makes it impossible to interact with the window and redraws the focus Example retrieving the default values: % wm attributes . -disabled 0 -toolwindow 0 -topmost 0 [RS] confirms that this applies to Windows 2000 too. ---- [Category GUI] | [Category Porting]
