RPI Tkinter Window, I want to use a command like overrideredirect and maintain entry box functionality

Question

When using overrideredirect or something like root.wm_attributes('-type', 'splash') my entry box cannot get focus on user's click.

I am developing a GUI which I want to maintain the style of previous windows and not have this window stand out with the window header. How do I get rid of the RPI window bar but maintain entry box functionality.

When using the splash window type (Linux only), you can make the entry get the keyboard focus by using focus_force(), e.g. binding it to the left click.

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.wm_attributes('-type', 'splash')
e = tk.Entry(root)
e.pack()
# force focus on left click:
root.bind('<1>', lambda ev: ev.widget.focus_force())
root.mainloop()
