I've checked in the changes you need as a pull request, once you integrate the pull request, you will not have question marks. The question marks where in your repo, they will not be there anymore after you accept my pull request.
At this point, you've spent about two weeks working on this problem -- maybe you should make images of what you'd like to have on those buttons and then attach those images to the buttons instead of what you're currently doing. If plan A doesn't work, try plan B. Gj On Fri, Jul 19, 2019 at 2:07 PM Peter Toye <netbe...@ptoye.com> wrote: > Dear Geertjan, > > Errr....
