    HI all,

    Question: I have a B&W MK2 Touch Screen on which I would like to create some custom, irregular shaped buttons. For example; I would like to take a floor plan and use each complete room shape as a button, or say, use the shape of a kitchen worksurface to control the lights above it.

    It seems that athough you make a C-Bus button transparent and overlay an image, my problem is getting the 'touch' (button) area to correspond exactly with image and vice versa.

    Some pointers would be gratfully received.

    Paul.

    In Colour C-Touch, HomeGate and Schedule Plus, you can create a shape with an arbitrary shape.

    In B & W C-Touch Mark 2, the best option is to have a series of buttons which all have the same function, and between them cover the area the best that you can. You can mix together square, circular or triangular buttons.
