    Hi Roger
    When you made the profile in profile designer did you double click on each slider and give it a name and a name for the channel?  This is the only thing i can think of that would give you a blank page.  I am at the end of my knowledge, I cant reproduce the last picture with my iphone or ipad i get the correct info.  I have emailed the S Brick team and asked them to contact you as they can look at the profile and see if something is wrong and give you android advice.  Let me know how you make out.

    You have to make an image of what you want the layout to be in a drawing program the same size as the screen size of the control device. Save as a .png or .jpg Go into profile designer and look for resources. Find the background tab and load in your created jpg. Then in your profile load your created background in and shuffle the controls to match your back ground.

    Hello
    I am still having a problem with my OS app when entering the market place it starts the logo spinning and never competes.  The whole program is locked up and I have to turn the iPad off to clear the issue.  If I just leave the program when I return the logo is still spinning.
    As i posted over the weekend everyting else about the new program is working very well and this didnt start untill Sunday.  On another note I forgot that I was testing OS 10 on my iPad Pro and the new program works well with it except for the spinning logo issue in the market place. This happens now all the time with my iPad on OS 9 and the iPad Pro and sometimes on my iphone which is also on OS 9
    Thanks for the help keep up the good work.

    Morning
    Thanks to Ralph Tamis and others that provided assistance yesterday. Those problems are solved. Brian. I am having the same issue with my os on iPad app and found that once started the only way to clear the issue was to power off the iPad. It happens to me when moving from the market place public profiles to my private ones the display switches and shows 100 % and spins for ever. I also tried Safari to edit my profiles bit the values are still missing in the joystick.
    One last thing on my iPhone when seeking a private profile in the market place I can't scroll past the first four or five to the newest one.
    The rest looks and works very well these things will be fixed I am sure cheers Alex  less
