Gerry,
Here is the layered Photoshop button file. If I can figure out how to do a good screen capture video I will do it.

A sample file would be great. I've been playing with a different tutorial, but it's rather complicated. The one you posted looks to be much simpler. Thanks.

Gerry,
I have posted a video tutorial up on YouTube if you are interested.
Please don't be too critical as this my first attempt at a video tutorial.
It was done on my mac. The screen resolution on mac is really high so it does affect the amount of movement on screen. I hope it helps.
Andy
PS If you watch this video at the YouTube site it is available in High Quality which is much easier to watch.

Hey, that looks familiar!![]()
Love your new screen! It looks like the eye candy.set file is missing from the zip file if you would be willing to share it.
So sorry about that....I was up late putting that together. I had two readme files in there when one of them was supposed to be the set file. I have edited the previous post to include it. Here is the set file by itself.
Thanks, very nice work.

Your right,
I actually made an action out of it. But I found that if I made a smart object out of the first one I can easily duplicate it and transform it to different sizes much quicker. I found that the action didn't always give consistent results if there were other layers present.

this may be a dumb question, but i would like to know anyway. i installed the wizard, but the picture is to large to see all of the options. i tried to minimize but was unable to . i am running a tormach and i think a lot of my config options are locked. what should i try next? thank you for your time.
The screen was designed for a resolution of 1280 x 1024. If you go into the general config menu of mach3 there is an option down toward the bottom right of the menu called "auto enlarge". It will shrink or enlarge the screen to fit the dimensions of your screen. You will need to restart Mach3 after the change though. A better solution would be to set your screen resolution higher if possible. The reason I designed it at the resolution I did was that most 17" monitors have a native resolution of 1280 x 1024. Both of my cnc machines have 17" monitors.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you still need help.
