LOL, i looked at my commandset when i posted the pic and i thought wtf!?!
I ordered the buttons on the top row from 1-9 and the bottomrow from 10-18, so much fun to see what a noob i am...:P
This is the commandset:

CommandSet AmericaDozerCommandSet
  1  = Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant
  3  = Command_ConstructAmericaBarracks
  5  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyCenter
  6  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyDropZone
  7  = Command_ConstructAmericaWarFactory
  8  = Command_ConstructAmericaAirfield
  9  = Command_ConstructAmericaStrategyCenter
 11  = Command_ConstructAmericaParticleCannonUplink
 13  = Command_ConstructAmericaPatriotBattery
 14  = Command_ConstructAmericaFireBase
 15  = Command_ConstructAmericaCommandCenter
 18  = Command_DisarmMinesAtPosition
End

This looks better...:P

You have some more room to watch the battlefield now because that money thing is not on top of the interface anymore...

The game is hardcoded to auto resize the button images to the size needed so if you put a 250x200 image in the game for 1 button the game checks the hardcoded size of the button and adjusts the image to that size, so no I didn't change button image sizes...

Well let me describe it a bit better, at least that's how I think it works..
The application checks the .wnd file for the size of the button.

ControlBar.wnd

SCREENRECT = UPPERLEFT: 223 494
             BOTTOMRIGHT: 273 538,
The application resizes the images to 50x44 (50 = 273 - 223, 44 = 538 - 494) so if you resize the button size in the .wnd file the application resizes the image to the new size and that's why I didn't change any button images, it is done automatically.
In my CameoStudio app I used the same principle, you can load any size of image and it will be auto resized to 120x96 or 60x48, depends on what kind of placeholder you have chosen to use...

So you Use your Application (WndEdit) and change the Size it by using Notepad ++

(i cant see any thing in your APP that change the size of the button)
