Code used in this video:

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.font as font
from PIL import Image, ImageTk

def open_start_window():
start_window = Tk()
start_window.title('start window')
start_window.geometry('400x300')

def gallery_page():
print("Subscribe to JameSparKing")

def exit_window():
start_window.destroy()

# gallery_button = tk.Button(text='Open Gallery', bg='blue', fg='white', command=gallery_page)
# font_style = font.Font(family='Arial', size=15, weight='bold')
# gallery_button['font'] = font_style
# gallery_button.config(height=5, width=20)
# gallery_button.pack())

gallery_button = Image.open("./JameSparKing_pic.jpg")
resize_gallery_button = gallery_button.resize((150,150))
gallery_button_picture = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resize_gallery_button)
image_gallery_button = Button(image=gallery_button_picture, command=gallery_page)
image_gallery_button.place(x=125, y=25)

exit_button = tk.Button(text='Exit', command=exit_window)
exit_button.place(x=180, y=200)

start_window.mainloop()

open_start_window()
