3.Click the button that is to change its appearance. The Customize dialog box will remain open.

The button you've selected will be outlined in black.

4.Position your mouse pointer on a button and rightclick to open a context menu.

5.From the context menu, select the Button Appearance... command.

6.In the Icon group, look for a button that you prefer. Select this icon BB_NewEMISnapshot, for example.
