I think many of us would like to have the option of the standard display when v2.0 is offered.I know I would. At 06:49 PM 11/25/2009, Jim R wrote: Brian I'm glad you mentioned this.

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] PB skins
I was developing a skin with the classic look, as an exercise and for the benefit of those who prefer or were used to that style. I stopped when I didn't found a way to turn the texts in the panels to black. I submitted an enhancement request, but I realize that the development team have a lot of more urgent things to do. 73 de Ignacio, EB4APL .. Jim R wrote: Brian I'm glad you mentioned this.
