Alphanumeric LCD Control with multiple foreground and background colors, fast or slow printing, option to pad lines with 'spaces'. Regular & Bold 'font', 2 levels of brightness. 13 pre-defined background colors (or 240 custom) and 7 background colors.
Inspired by Peter Wilson's "Vacuum Fluorescent Display Simulator" (In fact I based the 'regular' graphics on his graphics.) Some characters added/redone and new 'bold' font. Colors tinted at runtime, not pre-made (for size and flexibility).
Also adapted a bit of code by Kamilche (Load picture from byte array) to load JPGs directly from the resource file.
Enjoy the code, and please comment/vote.
