Creature Developer NoteCustom Images - Version: 1.2.3, 7/11/2004 06:09PM PST

When you use a custom image, there is no "hotspot" as with the other skins. For a custom image, you must control-click (or right-click if you can) to get the menu. This is the next big feature on my list to allow hotspots with custom images... :-)

Creature ReviewVery useful........ - Version: 1.2.3, 7/8/2004 09:56AM PST

Just as a way of tidying up my desktop of a lot of aliases of documents I regularly refer to or update. Don't know if this is a bug but I've tried to put my own custom images on this & they only work if I control/click on them. I've noticed that the official skins will open the drop down menu if they are control/clicked from anywhere on their surface but they have a specific zone, such as the dial on the iPod ones, where it works with a regular mouse click.

John Haney, every time I use Creature it's just gets better. A nice treat for the big cat.
