I received my new TSU3000 about 2 weeks before Philips even released it. I started programing and this is what I've came up with so far!

This is my first Pronto configuration. My goal was to replace my MX-1000 with the TSU7000, and add a few things that I could not do on the MX-1000. I set out to create a 100% original art work configuration. I created the buttons using Crystal Buttons, followed up with enhancements using PhotoImpact. I also tinted the system bitmaps blue by replacing the bitmaps in the PCF file, and created pressed bitmaps of all buttons to look like they are lighting up when they are pressed.

I created a device bar for my major devices. This can be clicked to jump directly to a device although you have to use your fingernail since it so small. I also created an information screen for the device hard buttons.

With this file I wanted to demonstrate the usage of animations. The theme that is chosen is based on the seashore. Four types of shells are used to represent the four devices TV, VCR, DVD and Amp. They are presented right away on the home page.

All devices have their own sea shore background. The buttons on each device are small versions of the shells to get a uniform look and feel. The top bar shows the other devices for quick selection.

The animations are implemented as macros (in hidden devices) with a series of page jumps. The following animations are included:
- When a shell is selected on the home page this one becomes enlarged on the background. The others move to their place in the top bar.
- In a device page press the Home hardkey and the same animation is played backwards.
- In a device page select another device from the top bar and this one becomes the center. This is not a separate animation. Instead it just executes the Home macro and then the device selection macro from the home page.
- There is a fifth animation, but that one you have to find for yourself!

Background bitmaps are created from photographic material found on the internet and are all... (more)

This layout is an evolution of my TSU3000 layout. It is activity-based and makes heavy use of macros to control my two zones of equipment and home automation. The layout of hard and soft buttons for each device follows a pattern, making it fairly simple to learn to use. There is a help screen for each device. The skin resulted from a hybrid of Aqua-like plastic button and a rough stone background.

The skin is based on a pattern that matches the paint of our living room.

My design is different in that it only includes items that are used by an average user. No need to clutter or confuse.

Complete system file using some of my favorite graphics from other user posted files.

Basic layout using different segments of files found here. I've included some images of the original Star Trek cast. Especially useful is the XM remote, I've included icons for direct tuning.

Just messing around with my favorite accomplished couch potatoist so simple Homer could figure it out!

A neat GUI that I snagged from GUIStuff.com, so I can't take credit for any of the graphic work other than remote buttons. The rest is a complete file, including macros already set up - simply drop in your IR commands and you "should" be ready to go! Drop a line on the email to let me know what you think... Thanks!
