On Windows

Step One:

Create a transparent icon using either an icon editor, or a site like rw-designer. Save it as transparent.ico.

Step Two:

from tkinter import *

tk = Tk()
tk.iconbitmap(default='transparent.ico')
lab = Label(tk, text='Window with transparent icon.')
lab.pack()
tk.mainloop()

On Unix

Something similar, but using an xbm icon.
