is that not just the background

is this tkinter?

[nocturne lintel]

yes

i think there are no methods included in tkinter to change the window border and title bar.
there is a method to remove them root.overrideredirect(True).
but when you want to change the colors or style, you would have to use a library specific to your operating system.

for example you could use this code to enable dark mode on windows:```py
import ctypes as ct

root.update()
ct.windll.dwmapi.DwmSetWindowAttribute(ct.windll.user32.GetParent(root.winfo_id()), 20, ct.byref(ct.c_int(2)), 4)```

I got this after using ttk.Notebook

this is what it looks like without

but I need ttk.Notebook

[subtle haven]

what does it do

and did you check why it changes the color

@nocturne lintel https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.ttk.html#tag-options

you have to specify it to the notebook class not child_root

[subtle haven]

the link I sent directly takes you to the tag options

that tell you the options for appearance customization on the notebook class

I change the background itself but this handle doesn't change.

[subtle haven]

show your current code

send as text not screenshot

I think it has to do with your sizing. I think you might just be better off styling the background to match or using a style

I can't find anything on how to fix that little gap

[nocturne lintel]

I figured out that this is a frame from the tab

[nocturne lintel]

for the future if anyone still needs it here is a piece of code to remove the tab border

    style = ttk.Style()
    style.theme_use('default')
    style.configure("TNotebook.Tab", borderwidth=0, padding=[0, 0, 0, 0])
