See how the first one is way to the left, then the second one is centered, and the third one is way to the right.

Each of the icons needs to be centered in the 1/3 of the image they "own".

Yeah, you're right, i did this image this time, take a look at it! It seems it works. Althought it's a little off at some places, I think I made it work!! Look at it! It's done, it's almost done!! XD

One other hint. The total width of the image with all three "states" in it should really be a number of pixels you can divide evenly by "3". Otherwise it can be tricky to the spacing exactly right so you don't get "movement" as the sates changes.

That's close. Still need some tweaking on the spacing so you don't get "movement", and you might not want exactly the same image for each state, or what is the point? :-)

It's all based on where each "icon" is positioned within the 1/3 of the total image width allocated to it. Just nudge layers around till you get what you want.
