On the topic of the source code... if someone came up with a good "look", I suspect we could convince the guys to make it part of the official codebase, at which point, they can tweak it in the necessary manner.

On the topic of "getting the empeg back"... I harbor no illusions that it would suddenly get returned to me (although, I do believe that the branding increases the likelihood of that happening), but what it really does is prevent the thief from enjoying the stereo himself (without having to admit that he stole it every time it powers up *G*)
