Some common root window options

Now that we are done discussing styling options, let's wrap up with a discussion on some commonly used options for the root window:

Method	Description
`*root.geometry('142x280+150+200')`	You can specify the size and location of a root window by using a string of the `widthxheight` + `xoffset` + `yoffset` form.
`** self.root.wm_iconbitmap('mynewicon.ico')` or `self.root.iconbitmap('mynewicon.ico ')`	This changes the title bar icon to something that is different from the default Tk icon.
`root.overrideredirect(1)`	This removes the root border frame. It hides the frame that contains the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
