How to get rid of widget border?

Question

I have the following code:

from Tkinter import *
def gui():
    root = Tk()
    root.configure(background = \'red\')

    rightPanel = PanedWindow(borderwidt         


        

Answer 1

What you are seeing is the highlight ring around the canvas -- something that changes color to show that the canvas has keyboard focus. Set it to zero with the highlightthickness attribute:

canvas1 = Canvas(rightPanel, bg='black', highlightthickness=0)

Note that it could also be the canvas border. You might want to set borderwidth to zero, too.
