    Blue Screen mostly black instead of blue

    I downloaded the Mach3 Blue screen, and when I try to load it, the screen is mostly black. Any ideas?

    Why does this all have to be so complicated. I want a simple 4 axis screen that works like I want it without having to learn a graphics program to edit the screen in a special screen designer! Sorry about the rant, but you would think Mach would at least have a library of useable screen sets available from simple to krazy. Pick your poison and go to work!

    Did you run the installer? Sounds like the bitmaps are not in the correct place.

    Fwiw, I believe the Mach Blue screens have the exact same controls as the stock screen, just in different colors and different layout.
