GridCustomLayouts

[Owltoid]

Ugh, please help! I spent a few hours last night and couldn't solve my problem.

I have Grid. I have GridCustomLayouts. I have read, and reread the following thread many times:

http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=30443

I haven't been able to get the layout how I'd like it.

What I would like (imagine each name is a grid box):

Owltoid1 Owltoid2 Owltoid3 Owltoid4 Owltoid 5
<blank space>
Raid1 Raid2 Raid3 Raid4 Raid5
Raid6 Raid7 Raid8 Raid9 Raid10
(and continue to grow down depending on how many are in the raid)

I have set my cutom layout to what the thread was suggesting:

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;sortMethod = "LIST"
(where ToonA is my toon name, in this case the Owltoid on account1)

This works great. My team always shows up, even in a 40 man raid.

However, I can't get the rest of the raid to show. I've tried the showRaid command without success. Anyone know how to set this up? I'd love a better description of the addon than what is currently on WoWAce.com.

***side note: my toon list actually contains about 30 names which is great since it allows one config for all my teams. I can now mix and match and whatever toons are on will show up in the list as I'd hope

Question 2: do I need to download something like Pitbull to turn off the default WoW party avatars or is it possible through Grid?
