Hey Archie, I'm not sure what the new control is supposed to do over the old one but I did notice that the entire area fills with the selected back color if either ValueSelect1 or 2 is set to true.

Attached is another update.

When the Background is set to Transparent and the graphic has transparent content, such as PNGs, it should let you overlap Indicators.

You can use the same address but graphic 2 will never show unless you use opposite states with NOT prefix.

The example could be address "00001" in the graphic select 1 and "NOT 00001" in the graphic select 2 (and vice versa).
