So, my greatest available choice here looks like linking images together in a group and making that 'act' like a button.

OK. I will look into that.

thanks

I have a special button look and feel and want to include that. Then I
want to put a special icon into that special button look and feel. Then
I want it to act like a default button or like a regular button.

The usual way to do this is to create the entire button as an image in a
graphics program. Include the actual button shape itself, as well as its
"icon," as a single image. Make two of these, one for the "up" state and
another for the "down" state. Then create a transparent button and set
its icon to the "up" state image, and its hilitedicon to the "down"
state image.

To add to the above:


If you want a scalable image button, you would need to combine the separate
sections of the button image into a group and use the group as a button. If
you want a button that only scales horizontally, you need a minimum of 3
items: left, center and right (scale the center element). If you want a
button that scales in both directions, it gets more complex as you need a
3x3 grid of elements and you scale only the center cell. It's work, but it
can be done.
