local oGraphics := Graphics():New( ownd:hDC )

... else ( tested with new FWH )
Images are adjusted to button-size.

I got a rc-file-size of 900K for only one image 128 x 128

Have a look at the resource of DISABLE.bmp

Trying brc32.exe with Disable.bmp ( alphachannel 32 bbp )

Clicking on the star- LEFT side, paints a HALF star.
Cicking on the star- RIGHT side, paints a LEFT and RIGHT star ( shows FULL )
