how to hide top level window icon from the task bar without hiding its border

i am making tkinter window and another one as top level but i want when the top level window is displayed only one icon in the task bar which is main window icon not the top level one

I already used overrideredirect(1), it works but it also hid top level border including title bar

w = tk.Tk()
w.title('main')
w.geometry('300x300')

def c():
    t = tk.Toplevel()
    t.title('toplevel') 
    t.geometry('100x100')
    # t.overrideredirect(1) 
    t.mainloop()
b = tk.Button(w,text='click',command=c)
b.pack()
w.mainloop()

The method .transient() does exactly what you want, it will remove the toplevel icon from the taskbar:

import tkinter as tk
w = tk.Tk()
w.title('main')
w.geometry('300x300')

def c():
    t = tk.Toplevel()
    t.title('toplevel') 
    t.geometry('100x100')
    t.transient(w) 

b = tk.Button(w, text='click', command=c)
b.pack()
w.mainloop()

By the way, you only need to call mainloop() once, calling it again in the function c is useless.
