Control Panel Layout
Orginally, it was to be
10.25" wide. Frankly, for the diversity of controls on the panel, it's not
wide enough. That and the buttons are on the wrong side for using the
spinner.
My wife and I would end up crossing our arms over and playing with the oposite
hand for the buttons.
So, we're widening it a good 1.5", removing two of the buttons altogether, the
Enter and Tab buttons, and moved the spinner/trackball axis to the right and put
the buttons in the middle.

The image was made in Paint Shop Pro, starting with an image size of 1175 x 650.
The quicker of you out there will notice that 1175 is 100 times 11.75". The
images you see here were taken from the various vender's websites and then
resized to be 100 pixels per inch. Paint Shop Pro supports the concept of
layers in an image and using that, pasting each control image in as it's own
layer granted me the freedom to move things around and see how they all worked
together. You can download a copy of the PSP file to see how I did it.
