You can use a custom image for a knob, but not for an auto-knob.  One
day, perhaps.

They actually look terrible in real-life.  The reason is that the interior
area of the gadgets is several precious pixels smaller, which meant that
the designs were too small to be legible.  It looked muddy and confused.
Also, there were too many lines and too many tiers of 3D-relief.
