Bart - disregard last post - i managed to sort it   

Maybe this was due to the graphics missing from the Texture Package? I can see you have different botton-designs in the two screenshots.

i had to change to couple of integer numbers, and re-size the buttons and font to get the panel background to show   i think everything needed to be a within a certain size, (no scroll ability). 
im actually modding an early version of Bart's Xonfluence Skin, not the current version.  Bart has seen it and he helps me out, which im thankful for.  
ive a load of mods including a 2nd widget set and 10 widget layouts(took me months to sort them) plus most of the images used to make up the elements of the homescreen have multiple images which can be used(modded the look and feel settings). can re-position everything on the homescreen,  add new fonts and im currently working on a way to change colours of specific items(text and images) Bart passed on some pointers, hints&tips for how i can do that too.    
im just a tinker - im not a coder - i just copy&paste and then change(tinker) a few things  - i prefer getting hints&tips so i can figure it out myself - Bart knows this.
