[QUOTE="Robert Misner, post: 220350, member: 4788"] seems everyone likes the proportions to be more accurate so I adjusted all the aspect ratios on the DMD wallpapers so there are black bars on the left and right in the image files, but proportions are better and the dmd fills the area on them better. they're still 1600x1200 , i haven't done the alpha numeric ones since the transparent sections are all abit different..its gonna take a lot more time. heres preview of what they look like now [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VUGocPI.jpg[/IMG] Also heres a video of what I ment using pinballX.. which I've set a video background as default..it runs fullscreen on the backglass monitor..but that doesn't matter, when you launch TPA it overlaps the video..then the transparent grill image is used a top layer..but since its just the grill and no backglass image it only covers the bottom third, and lets you see the video behind TPA and it as well. Thats only way i can think to make it work..but it will be problematic for alpha numeric video screens like Xenon since you'll have to cover the bottom with an overlay to hide the rest of tpa window. but for DMD screens it could work.
