Anyone have a "please Wait" or "Tuning" icon to be used in the active state of a channel or XM icon, when selected?

I tried to place the hourglass symbol over a blank button in MS paint, but it does not come up transparent.

TIA

There's a nice small hourglass in the "GLASS" library
...couple a thumb tacks and a stick of double sided tape should hold this baby up...

Right. That's the one I used, and tried to place it on top of the blank button icon in MS paint, but it does not look good.

Right click on the blank button, alignment, and send the button to back. Then place your hourglass on top.

That only works for the active state of a button, as far as I can tell.

Time to invest in a better image editor.

Some popular ones:

Macromedia Fireworks (what I use)

PhotoShop

Macromedia Flash (works pretty good too)

I've been working on this, and I don't think what I want to do can be done, the way I want to do it.

Thanks.

You can make one pretty quick with the free tools at guifx.com

I actually had the elements to throw one together already. It's kinda small, but...

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
