Funny how we think differently.  I have always achieved the same effect 
by setting the image size to the size of the button then Minus a bit.  
This keeps the visible buttons the same size as your initial layout.  
Usually 5 is sufficient to subtract.  But the actual amount you need to 
subtract depends on how large a border your button has. Buttons can be 
set to have thick borders, and colored too, which make nice image 
'frames'.
