A frameless tabbed design. Includes color PNGs with transparent layer for most of the Dish Network Stations as of 10/28/2006, however it does not include Dish Network PPV stations. This configuration is not based on "action pages," and the station logos could be better in my opinion. However I think it is an effective design for what we use it for which is mainly for viewing video rather than listening to audio. Thus, the design is video based and uses "watch" macro buttons on video source device tabs to turn the system on and off.

Since the TV is used as a monitor and my primary video source is the PVR (which uses the cursor pad for channel +/- functionality), I have used the "hard" channel +/- buttons as power/standby. Standby is only used on those devices that have discrete standby buttons, i.e., the receiver and the VCR. The chael macros for the PVR are our prime means of tuning various stations, and I have added macros (beyond the remote's default functions) for accessing common things like "Schedule" and "Recordings" for the PVR.

A complete system PCF file for the following components.

Activity based PCF with welcome screen, jumps to any activity from the current activity as well as jumps to full remotes for system setup etc. Complete help system to get the theater back in sync if a macro or other command leaves the system in a unknown state. The wife and guests love this - no more fiddling around just answer yes or no to the questions posed and the system corrects itself. Thanks to Archer and Daniel for most of the icons.

This is nothing more than Adam Bursey's design (posted here), adapted to my devices, and simplified a bit for my wife to play with it. It's a very functional and easy to use setup, divided by ACTIVITY and not by component. TV, for example will have controls for TV, Receiver and cable box. It has a simple screen for every activity and then all the other controls used less often in separate menus. There is some use of macros. Enjoy and feel free to tweak it around and post your version here.

Activity based with custom screens and titles. Has "switch" pages to switch from one unit to another with one button press. There is a hidden "Steve's" page for more detailed control and access (to keep wife's fingers from causing server damage).

A complete configuration with discrete codes, based on Daniel's TSU3000 config.

Activity based PCF with graphics from Daniel Tonks and others. The brushed metal style lended itself well to this Harley themed layout. Easy to modify, and easy to use. Both child and wife tested.

I'm quite pleased with the outcome we acheived for our customer, who had just upgraded to the new Foxtel IQ2 HD receiver. Using a combination of old Pace commands and pasting HEX from our RTI library, we have acheived most commands for the Foxtel with no issues of multiple codes being sent. Sorry about the basic layout but we were trying to make an easy to use remote for the customer. Hope it helps!

This is a complete design library that includes a PCF, a DOC containing design notes, along with Photoshop .psd files (and associated .png files) for all elements. The files are appropriately named and are organized in suitable sub-directories. The design objective is to provide an intuitive consistent remote control that looks like a high quality industry supplied device and can be used by anyone with minimal training and without reading glasses. This design is particularly effective in maintaining and restoring device synchronization. All buttons are realistically animated.

Here is my first attempt at making my own file. It is space based, I used Photoshop and Microsoft Photo Editor. I leaned on many files for ideas and guidance so thanks to all. Hope someone can enjoy!
