images and shell files

[TheJamsh]

Im getting a bit bored of ODF's at the moment so decided ill go to shell modification instead...

Firstly, can i make shell files use images instead of text in selection boxes? i thought of creating an invisible button and having the images as part of the shell background but id rather the images were referenced by the .cfg file.

to all you CFG know-it-alls, can this be done?


Secondly, can i get a shell file to 'read' a custom line in a maps .inf file, then find a .tga file with alpha channels and display it at a certain point on screen?

Thirdly, can i make buttons use .tga files/ image files to get their shape etc?

basically, what can i do in relation to images in shell files?
