also i will send you copy's of the psd when i finish a few more menus and you can make them transparent if you want. i was mainly just going to do 5 or 6 different colors of the same skin. but being able to change backgrounds or have alternating backgrounds would be cool too

Then set a button with the "VISU" command to turn it on and off.

Here's my hAv1c skin with the VISU embedded in the center:

This is sort of what you are trying to accomplish right?

I can also help you implement a font color changer so that you can have the right color according to your background.

When you get the files together, send them to me at:

The VISU is something that is defaulted to be off when RR starts, but you can set a command to load it when RR loads. Send me your skin folder as well when you send the photoshop files, and I can show you how to do this. To set it transparent, you would change this in RRConfig to about 100 or so.
