Hi @all,

The screenshot is a bit poor. Could you repost a screenshot that is in PNG and not truncated? Also, the colors are off so it seems.

Maybe a nice addition could be a blurry glow around the image, that is drawn with the wxClientDC so that it kind of looks like the led is actually glowing on the button.

All but all, it's a nice attempt do you also allow custom led pictures or are they stock images?

Hi Jorg,

first of all, thank you for response. I have replaced the image. It is a bit better, ... :-(.

It's a good idea, to place a blurry glow arround the image! Maybe, if i find some time, i will add this feature.

At the moment, custom picture leds are not allowed. This is also a possible extension.

Regards
