Tkinter transparency on label

Question

from tkinter import *

master = Tk()
master.resizable(False, False)
master.geometry('430x480+50+50')
master.title("Ping Check")
master.config(bg="#222")

layer = PhotoImage(file ="logo.gif")
topFrame = Label(text="Ping Checker", image=layer, fg="#fff", font="Bahnschrift 14")
topFrame.place(x=11,y=10)

I'm using the following code, which displays the image, however, the label seems to have a background, which I do not want.

Solution

It's not that the Label can't show a transparent image, it's rather label has its own background color which is not transparent or the same as its parent. One workaround would simply be using its parent's bg as its own bg:

topFrame['bg'] = topFrame.master['bg']

What if I'm using an image for the background of the master

@Chris You may want to see this and/or this. But it's not as easy as this one.
