Does any one know where i can get decent images to add to the page designer? i am currently designing multiple pages for a variety of different applications and i am finding it hard to get images with no background or transparent background. At the moment i am having to edit any image i need to use on photoshop, but it would be much easier if i could just get hold of them already done.

Internally, we use graphic designers to design the images you see in our marketing materials and use them for many of the configurations we create for customers as well.. That is not easy for everyone of course. There are however a number of online repositories for graphics which many developers use. Do a search on either "Stock Images" or "Stock Icons" or something similar and you will find thousands of images available (many with a royalty free license) for use in your applications.

Also, if you haven't try out some of the Primitives in version 2.6. With Primitives (rectangle and ellipse) you can use color gradients to create pretty advanced effects without the need for images at all.
