How to apply a different "Go" button for search?

I am generating WebHelps in a lot of languages on RoboHelp 7.02.01.

The English Search "Go" button does not really work for all languages but I have not yet figured out a neat way to replace it.

The sample project uses toolbar_searchBtn.gif(toolbar_searchbtn.gif), from the BeautifulVistas_Web skin but I still did not get how to change my helps to use something like that. The Skin Editor does not seem to have an option for that.

The default wht_go.gif seems to come from Program files straight into the Output but I'd really prefer to use a graphic that resides in the Help Project.

Adding to Willam's how to change the button...

You could create a skin for each language and then a layout for each language. That way you would generate with the right button each time without having to go in and change the graphic.

Thanks.

I must have misunderstood what that selection affects

edit,

I'd really prefer to use as few different graphics as possible. Localised texts in graphics can be a bit painful.

A pretty generic graphic that works in all, or most, languages would help me stick to KISS...
