Almost there with my new tool!Now while I could "cheat" and make the blending work by editing the bmp's, I'd like to just use the standard gauge bmp's with their RGB(0,0,0) signifying transparency.I want to layer the face.bmp (with the luminous gauge) OVER the background non-luminous case.bmp.Take a look:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/153207.jpgWhen I can do that, the first version is complete!!So, if you have ideas on how to combine the Bitmaps while respecting the RGB 0 color as transparent, let me know.

Never mind, got it all figured out!It's almost done :)

Here's the final screenie of v1.0!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/153238.jpgHope you like it! I'll anounce how to get it within the next 24-hours after I package it up for deployment.
