Title: Joystick and Button Overlays
Post by: bigfuz on September 17, 2004, 04:14:42 pm

I was interested in getting some button and joystick overlays for a control panel that I was going to just make black with and add some artwork under the plexiglass.  Is there a good source for this?   ??? - Bigfuz

I guess I will need to make my own.  What would be the best software to do this?  Are there any inexpesive or shareware that can handle these basic graphics?  ???

Thanks...

Illustrator works great.  A lot of people are using Visio.  For simple labels and graphics, PowerPoint is very easy to use.
