Okay Thanks that was exactly what I wanted! But I have a new question about
it. So you know how you can make a stringvar() and like when you change it
everything changes. For example, what I am doing it I have a button and hte
text of the button is a string variable so when the action for the button is
done, it changes the text of the button to 'Done'. So I am wondering, is
there a way to like have the button image be one thing, and then when
something happens, it changes to another icon. Will just changing the
variable that the image is in then doing an update() work? like

image= PhotoImage(file="first image')
Button(master, image=image)
*Button is clicked*
image=PhotoImage(file="second image")
root.update()

Will something like that work? Or is there a better way?
