Just discovered this software and I'm quite hopeful for it.

I have a few questions and hopefully someone will answer them. It appears your forums are getting little to no traffic.

I've been using current templates as examples to figure out the software and on the "Edit Macro" section I'm seeing things such as "Target ID: 36 39 41 57" (whatever). What do these represent?

Same section (Edit Macro) there is "Add/Remove/up arrow/down arrow and a spot for a number." What is this number for?

Same section again...on some macros I'm using as an example there is a button inbetween "Cancel" and "Ok" that says "Setters". What is this?
List item 4

Is there some in-depth videos, documentation available for me to use?

And lastly...odd shaped buttons. How do I make those?

Thank you for this software. I see I can get a "Hide Store Button" for $3.50 on my android which I think is a great price. I want to get the software figured out and if it works as I hope it will, I will gladly send you $3.49.

Yes, it is disappointing there is so little activity here. This seems to be the most capable virtual button box software out there but the devs are very quiet and the tutorials are basic, to put it mildly.

Targets are elements of the interface you have created. Buttons, labels, whatever. They all have ID numbers that you can use to 'target' them, so you change the text of buttons/labels or send button presses.

Same section (Edit Macro) there is "Add/Remove/up arrow/down arrow and a spot for a number." What is this number for?

It is a delay time (presumably in ms) before the next action fires.

Is there some in-depth videos, documentation available for me to use?

All I've found so far are the basic videos on the youtube channel, but a lot of the functionality is missing from those.

And lastly...odd shaped buttons. How do I make those?

As I understand it you have to draw the shape you want in some paint software, add that image to your project in the resource manager, and then you can use it in the project editor as the image for a button.

Hi, to use Odd shaped buttons, you need to import an image(.png) with some transparency (or alpha) or use the circle sprite shipped with LEA then add that image to your button the normal way, then open the "Advanced Image Settings" check "Complex shape". the "alpha threshold" field allow you set the lower transparency boundary any thing that are more transparent won't be "hit" (100% transparent = alpha 0 ; 0% transparent = 100% opaque = alpha 1)
