You had too much height on the Date/Time/Carrier ;)

Regards,Wally

[Guest bleep]

thanks bro.

Im having difficulty working out how to judge the heights on each section. any tips

[Guest w411y]

I use photoshop to create the images and there are rulers on the left and top showing pixels.

So if I look at a pic and say i want the plugin to start there and finish there I put the mouse over the points and subtract one from the other leaving the height
