All
I made an overlay from a picture I found somewhere (don't remember exactly where) for my X-touch to (kinda of) match the color of the device. I am attaching it here in case you are interested.
 
THE FORUM DOES NOT LET ME ATTACH DROPBOX Links, PM me if interested. 
 
This is how it looks (printed it on a self adhesive laser paper and cut it to fit) - It could still be improved though :).
 

 
Also, given it is quite a ride to learn all the Mackie controls (at least for me!), I summarized them in a PDF file (sort of a manual) so it is easy to follow. link below

I hope it helps!

This is how they look (originals are PDFs) - PM with your email if you want the originals (as I cannot hot link them to the forum)

Well this could be useful since I am now considering purchasing the X Touch because it was just reduced in price to $449 a couple of weeks ago. Thanks genimo001

I couldn't resist the $449 price tag, either.  Got mine last night.  Set it up in 15 minutes using Matt Finley's guide here.
 
So the question is, where can I find a .pdf of this template file (the base one, not azlow's)?

X Touch overlay


Not the overlay I was looking for.  Found it in another thread, but thanks.

Can you post a link to the post where you found it?

Just a small update, if you have an X-touch and don't have a footswitch, you should seriously consider getting one (or two).  They are great for recording and transport control.  However, be aware that you need a "non-latching" footswitch.
 
I purchased the wrong kind of footswitch, but when I get the right one, I can see the workflow improvements when I am recording.
 
I bought the X-touch primarily for mixing, but I will get a lot of improvements in recording workflow as well.

I agree 100%, it improves workflow substantially. I use mine with a Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch, and works great with the X-Touch. Right one for playback start/stop and left one to record start/stop and "on the fly" activation. It is also latch/no-latch selectable for both pedals.
