Neat style! Can you do a remote that's cool like that, too?

Except for one thing... the last few skins that have been posted (including this one) have been using blurring or anti-aliasing on the edges of the buttons on the hitpoints file. You shouldn't do that... the skins.txt file is very clear on this point.

If you have soft edges to the buttons in the hitpoints file, your file will work, but the edges of the buttons won't fall where you think they do. The edge of the button will stop at the first blurred pixel. So the button will be smaller than what you think it should be.

Cool thanks!
That explains it.
I guess I got too excited and skiped the part on anti-aliasing.
As for the Remote, all them buttons makes it to where it's a bit difficult in designing a "cool looking" remote with all the functions. I was going to make just a simple remote with just the main buttons but I figuered most people that use the remote, use it for all the short-cuts.
I'll see what I can do.

What I'd really like to make is a remote like the supplied TinyPeg I made, but with more-easily understood button labels.

I've been using TinyPeg a lot, it works well because it's so small. But in retrospect, the single-letter button labels were a bad idea.
