So I am still new to Glide, but am trying to make a simple homepage which has links to each of my glide tabs. I have tried to create a list containing the top level options (‘Main Menu’), but do not understand how to link clicking on those to each go to a specific tab. I have tried the “Independent Screen Configuration…” option, but that seems to only allow for unique layouts of the details page for the list item. Maybe I am approaching this wrong altogether. Any insight greatly appreciated. ---

Can you use the ‘navigate to tab’ action? Also, that sounds like a lot of tabs! ---

I have 6 tabs I want to link to from the main menu/start page: Tour Dates Discography Datafeed Bios Shop Chat I understand that I can use buttons, and link a buttons action to link to tab, however there is no way to customize the button’s look (that I am aware of). And also, how would I make the initial page that loads just a page of button. ---

You can modify the icon, state (transparent, filled, etc.) and text for a button. Is that not enough? What else would you like to see in the button component? > [@Robert\_Delbueno](#): > > how would I make the initial page that loads just a page of button. Use details view and add a button component ---

This is how I would prefer it to look versus the standard buttons : ![example](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/b/1beda547a552a6795ef742bd15de3ac4ffe9d0ca.jpeg) ---

Versus the button option: ![example2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/9/890930120945b5f1abaeea0c700693887fb53303.png) If one could add an image for the button, that would solve the issue. ---

Ahhh! I think I get what you’re saying! You have a list view in which you want a click on the item to navigate to a tab! In that case, you can make it navigate to tab in a new compound action. So here’s what you want to do: - Make a new compound action - Make a condition in which 'RowID (or any unique value) is the rowid for a row - Keep on making these for all of your screens Hopefully this answers your question 🙂 ---
