New menu system

I'd suggest overlaying some semi-transparent text over the icon, such as "B1" over a joystick icon to indicate it's joystick button 1. Same goes with the axis number "A1", keyname "F1", etc.

Oops, missed this post earlier. I was thinking just putting the key name on the key would be possible, with a few exceptions - for the arrow keys there could be some actual arrows. In fact I could use the same arrow graphic, just rotate it different ways for the different arrow keys. As for axes and joystick buttons...I have been thinking about this a little, and it poses a little problem. If we use the joystick, axis or button numbers provided by the OS, then the numbering starts at zero (on Linux, not sure about Win/Mac). We could make this a little more user-friendly by starting numbering at 1. However, this may confuse power users who know that joystick indeces start at 0. For now, I think numbering from 0 is fine.Alternately, we could ditch numbers for joysticks/axes/buttons and use letters instead. It would be possibly less confusing, but just as meaningless and arbitrary (since most joysticks' axes and buttons aren't arranged in any order that makes immediate sense).The ideal way to do this would be for the user to have a way to map his joystick axes so that something like "joy 0 axis 0 (-)" is mapped to "first joystick left analog stick move up". Then when the controlgrab detects the user setting something to joy 0 axis 0 negative, it instead displays that he's moving the first joystick's left analog stick up by looking this up in a table. This is one of those ideas for the future...but it's the best way in my mind, it is most consistent with other racing games (especially console ones where they know which joystick axes are which actual joysticks). We could even come up with some presets so the user could just select "Logitech Wingman Rumblepad", "Gravis Gamepad", "Sony Playstation Controller", or allow the user to create his own control mapping for whatever control they have.
