Can I put a gauge behind the dashboard background?

Post by WestfieldMX5 »

Is it possible to put gauges behind the dashboard background, or maybe put just image on top of a bar gauge?
I would like to use an image with some transparant cutouts for gauges and put some bar gauges behind it so the gauge is only partly visible.

Can't put something behind the background, but what you can do:

Add an indicator and set an off image

I tried that already but once an indicator has an image (on or off) the order of that indicator is always in the back.
I can place a normal indicator on top of a gauge, great. However, once I give it an image, the indicator goes behind the gauge :(
AIs there a way around this?
