I've never used this "dictionary" program you're talking about, but I think I know what you mean. I would recommend that you download the wxPython Demo and open the main.py file in the "wxPython2.8 Docs and Demos\demo" subdirectory. There's a class in there called "DemoTaskBarIcon" which you can use to figure out how to do the whole iconizing thing. As for how to minimize to an icon, this is how I do it: # bind the frame/app to wx.EVT_ICONIZE self.Bind(wx.EVT_ICONIZE, self.onMinimize) # hide the frame def onMinimize(self, event): self.frame.Hide() If you can't get it to work, please ask for help on the wxPython mailing list: http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php They're quite helpful.
