yea that kind of looks like it? I thought I needed 3 sepereate images, not one divided into 3 parts...

Why?

If you do have three separate images, I'd do something like:
First image. This one will not be hidden from start. Upon MouseOver, it fires a bang to hide itself and show the second image.
Second image. This will be Hidden=1 and have a LeftMouseUpAction that hides itself, fires what ever app you want, and shows the third image.
Third image. This will be Hidden=1 and have a MouseLeave action that will hide itself and display the first.

This will in no way be better then a Button-meter. The 'clicked' icon will be displayed the entire time that you still have your mouse over it, even if you did the actual clicking 2h ago.
You also might have troubles with MouseLeave if you don't have a background in the same skin so rainmeter knows when the mouse have left the icon.
