TkFontAwesome

A library that enables you to use FontAwesome icons in your tkinter application.

You may use any of the 1k+ free FontAwesome 5.0 icons. The fill color and size are customized to your specifications and then converted to an object via tksvg that can be used anywhere you would use a tkinter.PhotoImage object.
