I may end up going with neone6's suggestion and use his button instead.Harley animated the button for me but it doesn't do what I wanted. Not his fault, I just didn't know the limits to animation. I also have to do the grippers and arrows and stuff. [quote

I need some real, honest feedback on these taskbar buttons. See the screen shot below. To center the icons, they are stretched out. There is an example of the actual button There is an example of the button not stretched out as much. If you look at the actual png image (ACTUAL BUTTON) hopefully you can see what I am trying for.
