Fascinating. Thanks a lot. That is more than I hoped for, and was easy to adapt to what I wanted.
One small issue: There is a tiny gap between the black layer box and the right margin (in white) that doesn't even disappear when I increase hoffset.
Any chance to make that disappear, too?
Thanks again -
Matthias
