Hi! I am back!
Here is the code for graphical button whose color changes when an event like click occurs and on the next click the color changes back to what it was previously.

To Start with:
--------------
First place a Timer control and one text box on the form. Then put any shape on the form you desire like rounded rectangle which I 've used in this example. On the same position place an image box and one label. Set the BackStyle property of the label to Transparent and Caption to whatever name you desire to give to the button.

Note: Imagebox,Label and the shape should be overlapping each other.

Code:
-----

Gereral declarations:
---------------------
Public Img1 As Boolean
Dim a, b As Integer
------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Shape1.FillColor = RGB(155, 0, 0)
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Image1_Click()
If Img1 = False Then
Text1.Text = "Hello Everybody !"
Timer1.Enabled = True
Img1 = True
Else
Text1.Text = ""
Timer1.Enabled = True
Img1 = False
End If
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
a = a + 1
b = b + 1

If Img1 = True Then
Shape1.FillColor = RGB(155 + (a * 10), 0, 0)
Else
Shape1.FillColor = RGB(255 - (b * 10), 0, 0)
End If
If a > 10 Or b > 10 Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
a = 0
b = 0
End If

End Sub

Hope I understood your question and this is what you needed . You can also modify this code to make the buttons more graphical. Still if you don't understand the code give me your Email Add. I'll send you the example which I prepared for you.

Good luck!
