How to create the title of a tkinter window form

The principle of changing the title of a tkinter main root window is the same as was discussed in the previous recipe. We just pass in a string as the first argument to the constructor of the widget.

Getting ready

Instead of a pop-up dialog window, we create the main root window and give it a title.

The GUI displayed in this recipe is the code from the previous chapter. It does not build upon the previous recipe in this chapter.

How to do it...

The following code creates the main window and adds a title to it. We have already done this in previous recipes. Here, we just focus on this aspect of our GUI.

import tkinter as tk
win = tk.Tk()               # Create instance
win.title("Python GUI")     # Add a title

How it works...

This gives a title to the main root window by using the built-in tkinter title property. After we create a Tk() instance we can use all of the built-in tkinter properties to customize our GUI.
