I am new to this so please excuse me,

I have doloaded a load of bitmaps which I want to use for transport buttons on my software remote (play,stop,forward,back etc etc) but am unsure what to do,

I hoped it would be a case of just pasting them into the "Housebot Violet Themse folder on my C drive

(HERE - C:\Program Files\HouseBot\Config\Themes\HouseBot Violet)

However if I do this and try to select new a new button when editing my theme I can not find any of the buttons showing.

Im sure this is a very simple "rookie" error however its been driving me mad all evening !

Since the new images are not part of the ""Housebot Violet Theme", they will not be shown in the list. Just adding the files to the directory does not make them part of the theme.

So you can place the files anywhere inside the \HouseBot\Config\Themes directory. To select the new images, click the "Select other image file..." button instead of one of the images from the image list and navigate to the image that you want. Once you have it on the panel, you can copy and paste it to make it easier to use it again.
