Hi 1/4Crazy Travis-
OK, I'll try that. Thank you!

yes, but that would require effort and knowledge of skinstudio. aarielle if you want to do this just ask I am sure we can guide you through it.

Hi 1/4CrazyTravis & Crissy14-
You guys sure are brave around here....cause I REALLY don't know the first thing about all this. The task seems daunting and you may live to regret the words "we can talk you through it", but if you guys are willing I'd love to try. I know what import means and I know what the "skin studio" is but I have no clue what a "button widget" is. So you guys let me know and I'll give it my best.

here it goes. hope you can follow

Step 1. It looks like this before


Step 2. Open SkinStudio and click open visual style


Step 5. Click the Windowblinds expansion box


Step 4. Find the skin to edit. I am editting a skin that I imported from a msstyle by chaninja


Step 5. If this shows up click ok


Step 6. Here is what skinstudio should look like. Click XP Taskbar


Step 7. Click on the Quick Launch Icon


Step 8. Over to the right, right click on the top image in the box. If you don't understand look at the highlighted item in th pic. In the right click menu click cut. If it asks if you want to do this click yes.


Step 9. Your almost done. Up in the toolbar click the preview icon. If it asks if you want to save click yes.


Step 10. Your through. You can close Skinstudio and marvel at what you have accomplished. here is what mine looks like now



Hope this helps

Thanks

I accedently discovered that by cutting the quicklaunch image it would automatically use the taskbar buttons in its place. Just luck that it was small enough to use pictures.

You're welcome
