I’m writing a script to display caller ID information on a PC that I’m using to watch content.

The problem is that the tkinter window is grabbing focus and bringing up the Windows taskbar over the the fullscreen videos I’m watching. I’d like for the Windows taskbar to stay hidden.

import tkinter as tk


def _display_box():
        root = tk.Tk()
        root.attributes('-topmost', True)
        root.overrideredirect(True)
        root.configure(background='#1d1d1d')

        label = tk.Label(root, text='UNKNOWN NUMBERn555-555-555', font=('Arial', 50), bg='#1d1d1d', fg='#007dad')
        label.pack(expand=True)

        label.update_idletasks()
        text_width = label.winfo_reqwidth()
        text_height = label.winfo_reqheight()

        root.geometry(f'{text_width + 50}x{text_height + 50}+15+15')
        root.after(5 * 1000, root.destroy)
        root.mainloop()


_display_box()

Example of what’s happening. Ideally, the Windows taskbar shouldn’t be displayed.
