How to create a Tkinter taskbar?

Question

I am using repl.it(link to my project) and I am wanting to create a taskbar so that when the user clicks on it the app will be called. To call the functions I am using:

button = tk.Button(window, 
                   text="Text",
                   command=command
)

***I am using repl.it***: You can't use Tkinter on reply.it! — stovfl, May 04 '20 at 16:37
The built-in `PhotoImage()` does not support `jpeg`, use `Pillow.ImageTk.PhotoImage()` instead. — acw1668, May 04 '20 at 16:55
@TheMaker: I get **_TclError: no display ...**, does it only work having a account? — stovfl, May 04 '20 at 17:08

To create a taskbar, you can just make a canvas!

Here is some code I used:

taskwidth = Desktop.winfo_screenwidth()
taskheight = Desktop.winfo_screenheight()
Port = Canvas(Desktop, height = 0.1 * (taskheight), width = taskwidth, bg = "skyblue", highlightthickness = 0)
Port.place(relx = 0.5, rely = 0.995, anchor = "center")

This would scale to any screen, and it would go to the bottom.

Hope this helps!
