Start8 Custom Start Buttons Thread

Been using start8 for a few months now.  I decided to see if I could customize the Start8 Icons.  I started by finding the custom images folder.   (64bit) C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start8\StartButtons  or  (x86 / 32bit) C:\Program Files\Stardock\Start8\StartButtons  I then found the custom size aprox 45px x 135px.  or 1xwide by 3xtall  I then used photo shop to create the stacked image by making a file 450 px X 450px.  I created 3 of these images and laid then onto a 450px by 1350 px canvas with guides at 450pc and 900px.  After I got the images right, and centered, I shrank the "image size" to the correct 45 x 135 and saved them in the location above.  Then I could change the buttons from right click: configure Start8.

Feel free to share any that you may have made.
