The key point of interest here is the pseudo "four up" page that I've created and dubbed "the Dashboard." This is designed to be the primary viewing screen for the iPronto remote user, and because this particular equipment configuration has only three activities (HDTV, DVD and Cable), the four-pane display really works well.

The descriptive labels above each of the sections in the Dashboard display are actually buttons that can be clicked to take the user to a full-page display of controls for that particular activity/component. The full-page display replicates the same buttons in the upper right corner to match the corresponding panel of the Dashboard. In addition, each of the Expanded pages provides most, if not all, of the buttons for the corresponding original remote control. Each expanded page includes macros at the bottom to switch to one of the two other activities, or to return to the Dashboard, as applicable. All macros (except System Off) take the user back to the Dashboard.

The Switcher at the bottom of the Dashboard also allows jumping from one activity to another. The macros here working discrete codes, so the switching among components and TV and surround sound is pretty foolproof. The same macros, along with a System Off macro are included on the home page.

A complete system setup for the following components.

The finalized version of my system file. Includes television channel guide.

Maybe of use for some ideas.

I used a little different approach than most. Instead of creating individual buttons, I created panels in photoshop that contained all of the buttons on the panel. To create the links and buttons I used several transparent png files. All panels were created using Mac OSX Aqua styles in Photoshop and includes source files.

This is a nice Windows XP-style ICF. Most of the work has gone into creating an alternate navigation system (opposed to the iPronto source selectors). It's complete with Start button, fly up source buttons and shutdown buttons. Most component pages are stock minus the "clutter" keys. Satellite pages are complete with icons from GuiFX. Discretes are included for all components.

This is a program I wrote for a client of mine, I hope it will give some help to others as to how powerful the iPronto is and what it can do.

Now has my new amp and new backgrounds.

Home Cinema Control System. Designed for easy use. Only those codes required for operation are included. Set up codes will be added to the device section at a later date.

I find myself using this layout the most, quick jumps between devices for tweaking lights, audio, video, etc.. comes in handy, lots of discrete codes in here as well, overall, easy to use and effective. All codes tested are working.
