Hi Kenneth,

in the picture mach3.png the red led's are using Bitmaps, while in the picture screen.png there are no Bitmaps used. Could it be the referenced bitmap files lie in different directories?

Hi Kenneth,

please check following Settings in       Options -> Settings -> Generic prog Settings :
is the button "Report missing files" checked? If so, does a Message box pop up, when you load the screenset in MachScreen?
Is the "User defined image path" field empty?

"report missing image files" is checked. and no warning about missing file
pops up when loading file. had that before.

Hi Kenneth,

How about:
Is the "User defined image path" field empty?

Hi Kenneth,

please clear that field. If this field is empty, you will have the same look in Mach3 and MachScreen

Hi Kenneth,

do you have the macropump running, which changes the LED state? Your screen looks OK on my Machine (Mach3 R3.043.022). How is it look like if you set  "Red/green LED" to   "No"   ?

Hi Kenneth,

Hi Kenneth,

I still don't understand, where you see the problem. Could it be, you are talking about the letters below the LED's? In that case I would try to place 3 Labels, one for each LED.
