The bezels and other artwork will also save with snap now. I'll set as acknowledged until Aaron can confirm the direction.

No.01368 Twisty Senior Tester Jun 24, 2008, 02:06	And to add, the snaps look horrible with effects added in like that because the snap size is much smaller relative to the effects pattern - the relative sizes are all wrong.
