You can use the example code at the end of this to set the image: http://www.1014.org/shiz/code/hottrackbutton.cpp.txt ...and I've included the implementation, since it is very simple and just uses WDL's virtualiconbutton...

I started growing it out when I was 14 or so, and cut it I when I was 20ish, I think... I cut it because I was tired of it (and nobody takes fuckin' hippies seriously).
