Cocktail cab builders: what's the best way to illuminate the CP?
« on: October 27, 2007, 11:02:47 pm »
By this I don't mean lighting up the buttons, trackball, joystick, etc.  I mean did you put a piece of white plastic up with light bulbs behind it, or did you shine lights down on it from above, or something else?  Pictures or links please  :)

If you did it a certain way and regret it  :hissy: , that would be very useful information as well.

Thanks,
MRH

Why would you do such a thing.?  :dunno

The Illimnated buttons look better with no lights shinning down on them I think.

good question... the answer is: because I am using opaque black buttons - I'm using stainless for my CP.
