Default Issues with custom dash in TS/Shadow Dash

Looking for some input from anyone who has made their own custom dash in TS. I did a simple layout, consisting of some gauge elements Tuner studio built in gauge elements and some stuff I did in photoshop. I used built in bezels for backgrounds, and for one gauge I made my own bezel in photoshop. I also used some of the built in red gauge needles. Anyway, when I built it it looked great. When I closed Tunerstudio and re-opened, the custom elements were all gone, and the needles even changed. Thinking I forgot to save it, I fixed all of it and re-saved it. Same thing. Next I fixed it all again, and moved the .png files I made over into the same directory as the default ones. Same thing. In addition to that, when I moved the dash over to my tablet using instructions here Customizing your dashboards in Shadow Dash MS tunerstudio.com swipe through the dashboards, only the default dashs are shown... I'm thinking either the dash isn't saving or the files have to be in a certain directory - but that does not explain why even the built in gauge needles aren't working.

Thanks guys

Ja.. Already E-mailed Phil. Just thought I'd ask here. Gonna try it on a windows box here in a bit I think, I've got to be hitting some bug.

Figured most of this out. posting for others if needed.

Basically right now MS droid cant handle TS 3.0 dash. I spun up a new VM, installed old 2.x something of TunerStudio, registered, it, imported the .dash (which looked like **** btw on 2.x) and exported it from there. SCPd' it over to the tablet and it works. Resolution is perfect, but still has some missing elements, which is another issue to figure out.
