There's at least two ways to do that...

Assign an image (or images) to a virtual button.

Use a sprite with an image to act as a button.

Both are very easy to code and have entries in the help files.

The virtual buttons are very limited, you have no control over how they display. It is definitely worth putting in more effort to make your own sprite buttons.

Agreed. But if you just need a small, square-ish image for the button up and down states, then the SetVirtualButtonImageUp and SetVirtualButtonImageDown commands are okay-ish.
