Therefore, something like this :

screen navigation():

        if main_menu:

            imagebutton:
                auto "myStartBtn_%s.png"
                action Start()

        else:

            imagebutton:
                auto "myHistorytBtn_%s.png"
                action ShowMenu("history")

            imagebutton:
                auto "start.png"

When you follow the link I provided, you can read :
"auto
Used to automatically define the images used by this button. This should be a string that contains %s in it. If it is, and one of the image properties is omitted, %s is replaced with the name of that property, and the value is used as the default for that property."

I let you read the rest of the documentation for a better understanding.

Don't worry.

I may seem a little harsh in my answer, but it wasn't my intent. I was more point the fact that, despite all its flaw, Ren'py's documentation is really helpful, than anything else.
Most of the time the answer is in it, and while searching you generally discover interesting things.
