If David can make the watermark (logo.png) always appear under the buttons, then we're in for a treat... I have a way of making this skin look beautifuk with an offset car logo watermark in the background.

You can make the logo transparent and must change it size to the area you want to fill... it is meant to contain a space, like a picturebox, not show up behind buttons...

OK, OK... very funny. I meant Beautiful. Beautifuk is totally different, and I can not show you how to do that, sorry.

I understand. And I know exaclty why it is not possible to layer under buttons... it's just an image applied over another. I get it, no worries.

The reason I don't want to make the watermark part of the main screen itself, is because it will mean people have to stick with the one watermark (or else, change the main screen, and all other screens that 'stitch' to this one top and bottom... impossible task)

You could make the CF in the bottom left corner actually load from the logo.png, or maybe add another one the same size above the arrows on the right in the middle...

then they can get car logos... It's not much space, but they could still change it...

David,

The CF logo was currently loading from the logo.png. Anyhow, don't worry about this, it's all good. Minor stuff need not distract you from the really important issues.

jit, why don't you run the whole set of graphics through a batch edit & give a few different colors... I'm driving a new toyota for a few days & the nav is very similar in style to your graphics...

in the factory system you can change colors around, & different combo's look cool, theres a grey background with the green buttons that looks really sweet... & the whole thing over towards the orange/red side also looks cool...
