Is there a way to cause a square gauge to display as circular by editing the panel.cfg line for that gauge?

No way in the panel.cfg.  You need to edit the gauge's bmp and make those areas you want to 'hide' transparent (0,0,0 black).

If it's an .xml gauge, usually contained in a gauge .cab file, it's quite easy.

Thanks for the reply.  Am I correct that the process would to be open the radar bmp file in dxtbmp and send it to the editor much in the same way a texture is edited?

Yes, editing

I am not at all familiar with packaging xml gauges and it sounds as though I may have gotten into something larger than my capabilities.

This gauge may work.

Thanks, I've downloaded & will give it a try - Go Gators (I couldn't resist)

I don't hate the Gators any more - not since Steve Spurrier left.

I watch more Florida than Florida State football because Florida plays in a better conference.

There is only one game I want Florida to lose each year - the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
