Hi Again, Chipp:

Unless RunRev v2 will support true round buttons (I'm guessing at 
this point it won't), it seems I will have to create different images 
for daytime & nighttime.  This will produce about 314 images instead 
of 157 (in addition to the 144 possible time configurations there is 
a blank clock face the user can click on to select the hour and 
twelve clock faces with only an hour hand the user can click on to 
complete time designation by clicking on the minute).  I'll look at 
combining the images; though OenoLog already uses 370+ other images, 
so what's a few hundred more.  :{`)

Oops! The animated gif sounds good; but for the issue that the 
image(s) must appear on 25-30% of the cards in the stack.  Can one 
set the icon of a buttom to a specific frame in an animated gif?

I'm still groping to find that better way.  The basic hang up I'm 
finding is images displayed as icons don't look [different borders) 
or behave the same as native images, and to duplicate the native 
image look on multiple cards requires multiple copies of the same 
image.
