[Question] 'no_titlebar' and 'Minimize()' not working together?

Question

Windows 10

Python 3.7.3

PySimpleGUI Version: 4.15.2

Hi. (first, sorry for poor English)
I'm working on a program and i want to use no_titlebar and window.Minimize() at the same sg window.

My test program:

`import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [
[sg.Text("Click the button")],
[sg.Button("Minimize"), sg.Exit()]
]

window = sg.Window("Demo", layout, no_titlebar=True, resizable=False).Finalize()

while True:
event, values = window.Read()

window.Minimize()

if event in (None, "Exit"):
    break

`

but I encounter this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 13, in
window.Minimize()
File "AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\PySimpleGUI\PySimpleGUI.py", line 6211, in Minimize
self.TKroot.iconify()
File "AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\tkinter_init_.py", line 1875, in wm_iconify
return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconify', self._w)
_tkinter.TclError: can't iconify ".!toplevel": override-redirect flag is set

Can't I have 'no_titlebar=True' and 'window.Minimize()' together?
Thanks in advance

Can't I have 'no_titlebar=True' and 'window.Minimize()' together?

The quick answer. No.

There is no such thing as a "minimize" when your window doesn't have a titlebar / icon / doesn't show up on the taskbar.

You might not have noticed, but when you run a window without the titlebar, it doesn't show up on the taskbar. As a result, there's no place to minimize to nor is there something to click on to restore the application.

Okay, Thanks for quick response
I have one more question tho
I also use 'keep_on_top=True'
So program stick on screen, but I also want user have the access to not have program in their screen all the time.
(This is the reason I wanted to Minimize my window in the first place)

I found 'window.KeepOnTop()' command, but I'm not sure how to use it (or if it's the one I need)
I've tested 'window.KeepOnTop()' and '' but I see this:
'TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable'

Can I some how change 'keep_on_top' value?
Thanks

[PySimpleGUI]

There is no method for the Window object to set / clear the keep on top setting. There is nothing exposed that is meant to tell you the current setting. It's expected that you know your window's status.

You can bring a window to the front at runtime, but you cannot currently change the keep on top setting at run time, only when creating the window.

Feel free to open an enhancement request if you wish to have this capability added.

Sure, Thanks for helping
