title: Is there a way to create transparent windows with Tkinter?
body: <p>I'm trying, ultimately, to create "oddly-shaped windows" with Python using the Tkinter module. But for now I will settle for being able to make the background transparent while keeping child widgets fully-visible.</p>
  
  <p>I'm aware this is done with wxPython and some other modules, but I'm inquiring as to the limits of Tkinter.</p>
  
  <p>Can Tkinter create a clear Canvas or Frame? Can it pack UI elements without a canvas or frame? Can individual UI elements be transparent?</p>
  
  <p>Can it pass mouse-click locations back to the system for processing any windows below it in the Z stack?</p>
