You can turn off some of the frame style flags and make the frame look a number of different ways, though the point in a frame in wxPython is *native*, and so will be limited in look to what the OS natively draws.  (So, in a sense, don't blame wxPython, blame Windows, OS X, or Linux, if you want). You'd have to describe what you mean by "all black" more (I mean, do you want a top border at all?  Do you want a gripper?  Full screen? Etc), but I suggest you ask on the wxPython list and they can tell you best what is and what is not possible. My guess is that whatever you have in mind that is beyond wxPython's capabilities is going to fall into YAGNI territory (user-experience-wise) anyway.

I highly doubt that.  I'm sure whatever you want to do is doable with Python.
