    Lately, I've been using plain ol' sticker paper from Staples (the kind you can stick to stuff, like a kid's sticker), and putting that on the back of the face plate 'cause it's see the see thru type. Putting it on the front will work too, but will wear in time, so cover it up with another piece of clear sticker paper.
    The major problem I've found is that in sunlight, the colors fade after awhile.
    But it is dirt cheap....

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
