Editing my Plasma VCP, I started with an existing button for shape and color, deleted/re-wrote the text, saved as new button. The button is 100x100 pixels and looks like this in Inkscape:

but looks like this in VCP:

What am I doing wrong?

Select the text in Inkscape, and choose Path -> Object to Path.

Is there anyway to have more than 12 assigned/reassigned VCP buttons in an All in One DC controller? I have used parameters 188 thru 195 to assign buttons to the predefined "One Shot" cycles and parameters 196 thru 199 to run Macros. I would like to assign more buttons to run macro's. I have read the VCP manual and I am still not finding the answer.
