Why am I having problems making the cells Opaque so I can see the picture as the background, like in the above Dashboard Console?

It seems backwards, but "Opaque" means you can't see through it.

Thanks for the quick response, you are simply amazing. I just figured out the backwardness but now I have one column on each side that I cant turn "Transparent". Any ideas to get me through my ignorance?

**EDIT-- actually it looks like my pic isnt big enough. what is the console screen size?

That opaque thing screwed me up a lot when I initially implemented it.

When you are editing the console, it's always proportional to your screen size.

When you are displaying it, you can control the dimensions.

Images are always maximized within their container but retain their proportions.

Would an option to "fill container" be useful?

I am very new in this (V3) but I can see a use for it.

I intend to use V3 for our league tourney this weekend and I know I will see some excited reactions. This version is a BEAST.

Thanks. It's pretty rare when a new release doubles the amount of functionality while at the same time performing better...but I guess I did spend nearly 3 years on it.

Suggestion: Add shadows to your fonts. They'll be easier to read.
