Assuming this is a stand-alone game you can use the WWW object with file:// prepended to the path to load a texture. Do it in a Start routine, not OnGUI

var myGUItexture : Texture;

function Start() { www : WWW = new WWW ("file://path/filename.jpg"); yield www; myGUItexture = www.texture; }

function OnGUI() { if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,10,50,20), myGUItexture)) do something }
