Has anyone ever designed a horizontal VU meter as a gauge. I feel we need a "gauge idea" section. How would this even be made? Just 16 png images of the needle moving from left to right?

Well, no answer, but anyways. I did work on a Horizontal UV Panel. Their is even vertical ones as well. Took nights, and this all day today to finish one until 10PM (sat). I made the UV meter in a CGI program, and had to use a lot of math for increments (0-15) for the needle to balance out (X, Y, Z). The texture plate, I didn't know what font to use. This is my very first gauge (and a panel) I have made. Using a 1280x1024 monito (1 out of the three). I am new to this. So, bare with me. I am very happy with my creation. Eventually, will get better. Have fun

Hello. I'll revive the thread. Maybe it'll help someone else. Yes, it is very easy to design any indicator. Go online and find a short video of what you want to design. Open the video in VLC program and save 16 png format images from the video.  You can do this automatically in VLC.
You can get PNG format images from the video you play in settings/advanced settings/filters/scene filter. Define these 16 images as custom in the section you will design later.Ekrangrnts2025-03-16030325.thumb.png.89187051036e950e650e7aaade65fd3c.png
