Images on XP-Style Buttons

Introduction

One thing I love best about XP is the capability to have themed controls. You can even load new themes much like it's been possible with most window managers for the X Window System.

These themed controls can be used with .NET Windows Forms by supplying a manifest and – for some controls like Button – setting theFlatStyle property to FlatStyle.System.

Unfortunately, setting the FlatStyle property of a Button control to FlatStyle.System makes it impossible to display an image on the face of the button. Somehow, setting the Image property has no effect on these controls..
