First of all if you don't need tiling, turn it off
WrapU wrapV
Then everything else get the default color so make it black

Hmm thats unexpected
It doesnt ignore the projection, it would have to use uv then
So you see the complete texture within every button ?

Maybe its related to the transparency
But actually you have to see something
I think that you are plugin the alpha into the colors
Does the projection have no alphaSlot?
