Just a mod of the existing Tapedeck skin

To install make a copy of the org Tapedeck skin folder rename the copy to Tapedeck clear Vu or what ever you want
then copy the included "bg.png" to this folder (it will ask to overrwrite the org file unless you havn't made a copy click ok)

thats all :)

this is far from perfect yet but by editing the all.png you should be able to get a better result.
to do this open in your fav photo editor and change the height by a few pixels only (disable "keep aspect ratio")
Good luck!
