If you want to create a GUI for the sites that you prefer or to open your files on the pc, so that you remember them easily, you can use this tkinter app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will write the address for the buttons in a txt file called sites.txt, like the one you see down here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You have the icons in the folder icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They must be png files. You put their name after a sign “#” in the same line of the addres as you saw in the image of the file sites.txt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is pretty easy to add or change addresses and icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another example of links converted in buttons in tkinter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It allows 5 buttons for row, then it adds a new row. You have to choose the size of the image to make it fit with the screen or put a fixed weight and height, if you do not want to spend time making the png of the exact size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
