The magic happens in the .wnd files, study those files...
If im not mistaking the commandbuttons are implemented in ControlBar.wnd...

Just draw it out, get the texture from the commandbar and figure it out, just check the coordinates, if others can do it you can do it too...:P

CommandButton01:


WINDOW
        WINDOWTYPE = PUSHBUTTON;
        SCREENRECT = UPPERLEFT: 223 494,
                     BOTTOMRIGHT: 273 538,
                     CREATIONRESOLUTION: 800 600;
        NAME = "ControlBar.wnd:ButtonCommand01";
        STATUS = ENABLED+IMAGE+NOFOCUS+WRAP_CENTERED+ON_MOUSE_DOWN;

The resolution is 800x600 so you can set out the whole window on paper by checking the coordinates.
Upper left 223, 494...so 223 to the right on the x-axis and 494 down on the y-axis is the top/left corner.
Lower right 273, 538...so 273 to the right on the x-axis and 538 down on the y-axis is the lower/right.corner.
This creates a 50x44 button

CommandButton02:


WINDOW
        WINDOWTYPE = PUSHBUTTON;
        SCREENRECT = UPPERLEFT: 223 545,
                     BOTTOMRIGHT: 273 589,
                     CREATIONRESOLUTION: 800 600;
        NAME = "ControlBar.wnd:ButtonCommand02";
        STATUS = ENABLED+IMAGE+NOFOCUS+WRAP_CENTERED+ON_MOUSE_DOWN;

Upper left 223, 545...so 223 to the right on the x-axis and 545 down on the y-axis is the top/left corner.
Lower right 273, 589...so 273 to the right on the x-axis and 589 down on the y-axis is the lower/right.corner.
This creates a second 50x44 button under the first button with a gap of 7 between them.

CommandButton03:


WINDOW
        WINDOWTYPE = PUSHBUTTON;
        SCREENRECT = UPPERLEFT: 278 494,
                     BOTTOMRIGHT: 328 538,
                     CREATIONRESOLUTION: 800 600;
        NAME = "ControlBar.wnd:ButtonCommand03";
        STATUS = ENABLED+IMAGE+NOFOCUS+WRAP_CENTERED+ON_MOUSE_DOWN;

Upper left 278, 494...so 278 to the right on the x-axis and 494 down on the y-axis is the top/left corner.
Lower right 328, 538...so 328 to the right on the x-axis and 538 down on the y-axis is the lower/right.corner.
This creates a third 50x44 button to the right of the first button with a gap of 5 between them.

The rest is up to you...:P

Hmmm ini editor... idea:A++ I shall test this on a Windows ten. Windows xp is not bad its just everything getting to were it only works on newer OS which then leaves the older ones in the dark. But if you can upgrade I would say Windows 7 it was nice on my laptop... then I went to 10 and it broke the way my graphics card works :/

Edit: it appears to work fine on Windows 10. Don't have ini file on laptop

Well since i have zero experience with wnd files i did a little test.
I exchanged the ControlBar.wnd from fos with the original ControlBar.wnd from zh and this was the result...

Its a matter of making your own coordinates so it doesnt become a copy of fos, i did a bit of measuring and i think you can fit 18 buttons without adjusting the original stuff that much, the challenge is to adjust the texture without ruining it in the process, i can be wrong though, hope im not..:P

You can make the left hud a bit smaller, gives you 18 pixels extra room, by removing the gaps between the buttons you gain 30 pixels room, and the space btween the start of the row of buttons and the end is 7 pixels, resizing the buttons to 46 gives you 28 pixels extra room.
Load the commandbar texture into paint.net and create a new layer with a colored box on it with the size of all the commandbuttons so you can see how you have to adjust the texture...
Maybe you can even make 3 rows of buttons if you make the buttons even smaller...

Fun project btw, good challenge...

Bad news...
Game doesnt like 20 buttons, you can add them to the .wnd file but when you go over 18 buttons in commandset.ini the game says "no way mister"...
Here is a pic, going to rebuild it to 18 buttons now...

Btw, the hardest part is adjusting the commandbar texture, took the most time, coding this stuff is meh...
