There isn’t a way to change the shape of a standard button, but you can create your own. If you have a full license, you can use Symbol Factory to find pressed and unpressed 3D buttons, and group them together on a window, one on top of the other. Then set the event handler of the group to change the visibility of the unpressed image to 0 when the mouse is pressed, and 1 when the mouse is released. If you don’t have Symbol Factory, you can use a circle tool to create circles, and customize what the button will look like when pressed or unpressed.
