Yeah. I took some automotive rubbing compound, and buffed out the upper silver area of the wrist-rest, so that I could take full advantage of viewing my inserted mural


Then, took polishing compound to the entire wrist-rest, to turn the translucency more 'transparent'

Hey everyone with a wrist-guard template, when making your personal template what kind of software did you use?

well what I did was I made the background clear so it was only the green part, and then I added that over the image. You can then also change the color to like red if you are putting it over something green.

Used a mask. If you don't know how to use masks in image programs I can't really explain too easily...

Here's a thought...anyone who finds a good pic to use as a background post up some links. There's alot of good ones on www.themexp.org but just WAY too many for one perosn to look through so I'll start off with a few links.

http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=14668 - Not great for a laptop but makes an awsome background

Someone else join in and post up a few links.

Here are some pics of my laptop. I linked to the pics since they are large and would kill 56k people.

Is there anyone out there willing to post up links to the actual pictures they used in conjunction with the template to do the wrist rest mod?

There's tons of great pictures out there but i just don't have time to go through all of them myself. So people...POST UP SOME LINKS!!!

I'm bringing this back to the fore to show all the 5680 users this post. This was one of my bigger aesthetic reasons for getting a 5680.

Do you still have an image containing a better quality printable of the template?

Yeah, I did one of these wrist-rest inlay things, and the template needs some work. The dpi isn't adequate, and the shape of the trackpad area is pretty wrong. I had to make three inlays before i got it to work well enough.

I love when folkes don't worry about web-bots that scour the internet for e-mail addresses... that's what I call "faith" in your spam filter (dorky pun actually intended).

I just used this template, enlarged it to 600dpi, and took off some of the green area around the touchpad. Then I just sort of experimented while cutting. You don't really see the aliased edges of the template on my inlay unless you are looking for them, but I'm a perfectionist. It looks pretty nice (I decided to name my Sager "The Stove" since it's so big and seems hot enough to do light cooking, so my inlay has lots of blue flames and "The Stove" in old skool video game lettering.)

I've updated my links in the first post of this thread. My ISP changed and I forgot to reset for the new address.

I hope people continue to enjoy!
