I mean to say, in the way the gear button opens up the control panel. For instance, I click it, and it opens up an "About" page. (I'm trying to make this work with this question that I asked.) Like, I click an icon (the ones above the search bar), and it opens up a tiddler that has whatever I want in it. It needs nothing else really, just the tiddler.

Hi,

Create a tiddler, tagged with $:/tags/PageControls, containing:

<$button to="TiddlerToGoTo" tooltip="Tooltip" class="tc-btn-invisible">
{{$:/core/images/right-arrow}}
</$button>

Adjust TiddlerToGoTo, Tooltip, and icon (here $:/core/images/right-arrow) to your liking.

For more information about customization, see my guide Customization of TW5

Cheers,

Ton

Thank you, Ton Gerner! This works just as I wanted, and is more customizable than I was thinking it would be! However, I'd like to know how I can browse the icons to find one I like, and the code name for it.

I think this should list most, if not all available at tiddlywiki.com :

<$list filter="[all[tiddlers+shadows]prefix[$:/core/images]sort[]]">
<$transclude mode="inline"/> <$link><$view field=title/></$link><br/>
</$list>

The name is the tiddler title, given as link
