window.title("Python GUI App")
window.configure(width=500, height=300)
window.configure(bg='lightgray')

# move window center
winWidth = window.winfo_reqwidth()
winwHeight = window.winfo_reqheight()
posRight = int(window.winfo_screenwidth() / 2 - winWidth / 2)
posDown = int(window.winfo_screenheight() / 2 - winwHeight / 2)
window.geometry("+{}+{}".format(posRight, posDown))

window.mainloop()
