Nifty little idea, doesn't like to be configured.
I've spent about an hour trying to get this things hovertext to change, it doesn't. Otherwise this works rather well. But the lack of configuration means I have to manually script something to kill the hovertext and replace it. Which I was not wanting to do.
Great thing
Also makes you building interior better, customisable - thats what i like... Just one small problem hehe... need to find more people that could translate your texts into other languages :) Either use babelfish, google or some paid translation service :)
I've had this just a few tens of minutes and I already love it. The design is not only attractive, but it actually makes the device easy to use. My first thought was that I'd have to load a notecard into each button, but nooooo! I can put them all in the root prim and the script sorts them. Very clever. And being copy/mod is ideal because while the design will work in most settings, I have other places where modding it to fit theme would be better.
