I meant to reply to your post but was rather busy that day and then
forgot :(.
That site has lot of useful information, there is even a link to a
company that will make and paint custom from panels for you (they even
provide the CAD software to use).

There is an easy way around this - make a template empty song with all
the controllers set up and save it in the drumkits folder (fruityloops)
or the templates folder (FLStudio). If you then select that song from
the file menu, it will automatically load next time you start
fruityloops/FLStudio.

Yup. A white surface that you can write on with a dry wipe marker should
do the trick there :).

Well most of my plans/ideas were in the last post - but the coolest idea
is that I want to paint the front panel with the FLStudio logo ;-).
