Ok so I'm not to bright sometimes

Well if you want this kinda control I suggest you go ahead and subclass
toplevel, but the simple answer before running

root.mainloop()


make a call to

root.geometry(geometryString)



geoometrystring is in the format WxH+X+Y  - you may hve to do some
screen calcs first to get the right numbers.  ie "50x100+50+50" create
a  50pix by 100 pix window offset 50 from the top and 50 from the left.

To my mind, better to subclass toplevel and set everything in there -
but's mostly stylistic preference for something this simple.

And while I'm making suggestions ;)  Try wxPython.  I used tKinter for
about 3 months before tossing it in frustration when I wanted to do
somtheing "slick" , but I have a lot of fondness for some quick and
dirty UI's I did in tKinter a ways back.
