JohnB: I did try PM'ing you a a couple days back to see if you wanted to pick this up off-line, but I didn't get an answer. Only in case anybody else is interested, I took another stab at a Plus42-ish layout that addressed my concerns with the previous "quickie" hack I slapped together right after your request. In case any of you gag at the math function button fonts, I kind of felt the top half of the layout looked too much like a sea of formal uppercase mnemonics that kind of forced you to read all the buttons. Nothing is cast in stone - I'm just doodling around and trying stuff while I wait for Thomas to hopefully fix a couple more things for the layout file...

Also, I really don't have any idea about what Plus42-specific functions and buttons should go on this skin. At this point, it's not too bad for me to come up with different graphics versions - it's the layout file that's the pain. I'm not sure I want to tackle that again - maybe somebody else could express interest in picking up the torch (and I could help them) :-).
