A complete configuration with IR discrete codes and RF codes.

Version 4.1 All of the graphics have been completely redone again – this time I managed to give them a glass-like look. The transport buttons are based on Mike Ventimiglia’s ‘Envision’ design, however, they have also been redone from scratch and given a glass-like appearance. The icons at the top of each device are loosely based on John Sollecito’s design. I even designed a new battery icon which turned out quite nicely. I am an avid SCUBA diver and so the background pictures are themed after this. I have included the original generic background pictures if you wish to use them instead. I completely overhauled the underlying layout of the configuration file and moved the IR codes sections out from each of the devices. The reason I did this was to better access these hidden sections from the remote itself. There is, however, an access code required to enter the macros and IR codes area. It is set as “1, 2, 3, 4, Enter” and can easily be changed to whatever you wish. You can access this area by pressing the “setup” icon an then choosing the “IR Codes & Macros” button.

This time I am made a modified version of my PCF file for those with the Pronto version of these excellent... (more)

v3.0 I used some of Russ's Work plus Tom Uryga's bitmap files. I then started incorporating my own files and used clipart I had. I then also shot digital pictures of my ceiling fans, outdoor bar etc. I found that most PCF files had way too many buttons and were way to cluttered, which I thought made the interface too confusing to use. The coolest thing is to be able to control my electronic vertical blinds, turn on my icicle patio lights, outdoor stainless steel bar blue fluorescent lights, kick on my projector and 92-inch screen and watch movies sitting at my bar outside watching thru my living room window. The home theatre would be nothing without the Pronto! Thanks to everyone in the forum for their help.

This is my first configuration. I did not use any graphical elements from the Daniel Tonks remote that I'm aware of. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice remote but I wanted to try to create something original. My graphics may look dark but they have to be to show up on the TSU3000 (i.e they're not that dark on the remote). Like many of the configurations here, I created a hidden page of codes for every device then linked the buttons to the code pages. I learned the codes for every button on every remote that pertained to the device regardless of whether or not I intended to use it in my design. I thought that if by chance I had a remote that someone was looking for that they might appreciate having the entire remote. Most of my devices have two or three GUI pages. At the top are tabs with devices related to each other. The white tab indicates the current page and the dark tabs are buttons to switch to the other devices. On the left side of each screen is a block of common buttons that carry over to each page. In the middle is a graphic that I created and what I would consider rather large, simple buttons that are easy for me to press. See the readme.txt file for more details.

The best description for this PCF is "Wife Proof"! Features question-based navigation, easy-jump buttons and automation macros. Many thanks to Daniel, Andrea, Archer, and a ton of others whose example layouts, bitmaps and ideas where utilized to create this.

This is an updated version of my PCF with some new backgrounds and icons.

Modified from several downloads. Includes the following...

This was my first original design which included a lot of time and effort in Photoshop. All bitmaps are 100% original, and none of the internal button labels were used. I wanted to make it uncluttered and simple to use, so I utilized macros and discrete on off commands. I also wanted to make full use of the joystick, so you will not see it on the touchscreen.

This PCF contains jacket covers for over 300 DVDs as well as macros for all 400 slots. Both satellites have all available DirecTV channel icons and macros. Very user friendly. 95% of all graphics were made by me. Only a few were borrowed.

Button/text legibility was the key criteria in the design of this PCF, which was based on my previous RC5200 CCF. Another vital design criteria was the ability to alter most amp/monitor/lighting settings from within each device. Discrete codes are used throughout, as are macros to automate processes. UK folk with the SKY+ DSS/PVR may find the design/channel logos of interest. To summarise: spouse & eyesight friendly, high functionality, low in sex appeal.
