This is the bit I've actually been working towards. As I think I mentioned before, on the 42S some buttons have a shifted function with a shaded background. Those functions open a menu, rather than performing an action immediately (a bit like the "..." suffix on menu items in GUIs). In previous screenshots, I used a black background, but that always seemed too high-contrast and eye-catching, so I was looking for something less blatant.

This was one of my first attempts, but trying different design ideas by painstakingly redrawing all the buttons in GIMP was just too tedious, so I've spent months writing this tool to automatically lay out a keypad, so I could test a bunch of different ideas quickly.

And now I have that tool, and I've tried a bunch of different ideas, and I still like this one best.

(I still appreciate the tool allowing me to quickly adjust the horizontal and vertical spacing)
