Help change Tk window icon

Question

root = Tk() w=350 h=200 # get screen width and height ws = root.winfo_screenwidth() hs = root.winfo_screenheight() # calculate position x, y x = (ws/2) - (w/2) y = (hs/2) - (h/2) root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h, x, y)) root.iconbitmap(default='images/account.gif') Label(root, text='Window with transparent icon.').pack() root.title("Create a window") 

And I get an error

 File "Project.py", line 46, in <module> root.iconbitmap(default='images/account.gif') File "/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1523, in wm_iconbitmap return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, '-default', default) _tkinter.TclError: wrong # args: should be "wm iconbitmap window ?bitmap?" 

I also want to change the tray icon of the Tk() window

Answer 1

You must give it the bitmap argument, you cannot just give it default . In addition, you cannot use .gif as an image. It should be .xbm, or I think .ico is on the windows.
