How did you do your edits?
(i.e. what did you edit, did you add images or just relocate the objects using the same images?)
I am presently editing the Neuron screenset and after the 3rd time of having a go at it (learning each time), I came up with a strategy of doing it right in my opinion:
First I added all of the custom images I wanted to use, and numbered them from a random sequential high number (say 2500 onwards)
If I had two images, an UP and a DN, I called the name of the image "2500-btnStopUP.png", and "2500-btnStopDn.png"
This allowed me to add all of the images into a word document so that I could see them quickly and select the appropriate one to what I wanted for my screenset object.
Also what I did was I deleted all of the objects off the screenset I wanted to fully edit (by fully edit I mean anything that would move position....)
This then allowed me to add the objects back in
Whilst this may not be obvious why I'd created all the extra work of adding the objects back in, what it allows me to do is go through the SSL (screenset text file) and go to the end of each section and just copy that section to the other BoB variants.... because those at the areas that have been edited..... you will however need to first remove all objects off that bobs screenset that you want to fully edit first or you'll have double objects showing.
I've not found an easy way of doing this....
If you make the error like when I started out of changing the original screen objects image and repositioning it, trying to find that line and then move that from one Bob variant to another in the SSL is a PIA.
Maybe Gerry has a better way (I've not see / use the 2017 screenset but think it was majorly reworked or created from scratch, hence he may have a better way).
