# Python - Tkinter Toplevel

Toplevel widgets work as windows that are directly managed by the window manager. They do not necessarily have a parent widget on top of them.

Your application can use any number of top-level windows.

## Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax to create this widget:

    w = Toplevel ( option, ... )

## Parameters:

- options: Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.

Option | Description
--- | ---
bg | The background color of the window.
bd | Border width in pixels; default is 0.
cursor | The cursor that appears when the mouse is in this window.
class_ | Normally, text selected within a text widget is exported to be the selection in the window manager. Set exportselection=0 if you don't want that behavior.
font | The default font for text inserted into the widget.
fg | The color used for text (and bitmaps) within the widget. You can change the color for tagged regions; this option is just the default.
height | Window height.
relief | Normally, a top-level window will have no 3-d borders around it. To get a shaded border, set the bd option larger that its default value of zero, and set the relief option to one of the constants.
width | The desired width of the window.
