If you look at the layout of the stars in the postbit image i posted it uses serveral different images at the same time. while that may be possible with the vb3 intergrated stars , this hack saves a lot of time.
(i havnt made enough posts yet to have all 4 images showing).
And more than anything this is far easier to configure with different images.
Ok it's limited to 4 images at the moment, but im sure it will be easy enough to add more if needed.
*edit*
I did actually pm him and asked him to port this hack as i loved it so much
