Maybe it is possible to take a generic dt > overlay and change the name of parent node on it or something? Maybe that answers my question on an earlier patch. So the parent node of the overlay is embedded inside the overlay? Making a guess without looking at the code... The code loading an overlay must first parse the overlay and find that node name. It then must somehow traverses the graph, and find that node. It then must apply the overlay at that point. Could you not take this code apart, so you can pass it the name of the node you want to apply the overlay to, rather than read it from the overlay itself? The connector should known its own node in the graph. So it can find the overlay, load it, and then ask for it to be applied over itself. Andrew
