A favour

Would anyone be willing to create a a simple readout gauge for a project I am doing.Trying to get a simple read out for QNH. Like "1023" in bright green w/out any background.Have tried all sorts of "strings" to edit existing gauges but no joy.Even if someone knew the required string, if there is one.Many thanks. Please dont think this a cheeky request but I cant afford to buy software just for this.Any advice or help much appreciated.Thanks,Martin

Strange,I put this element in one of my gauges and it works perfect:%((A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,mbar))%!d!So maybe something with spaces???You should have a working gauge with:%((A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG,mbar))%!d!etc.Hope it helps,Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis"
