A mix of some favorite remote control files with my own twist.

This personal PCF file for the Philips Pronto TSU7000 is a mixture between Daniel's beautiful layout and some homemade graphics. The layout, with the devices on the left margin and the tv providers/programs on the upper mergin, is very simple. Especially for German owners of a color ProntoNG the channel logos (Arena and Premiere Pay-TV included) should be interesting.

My PCF file consists of Daniel's bitmaps and a very easy-to-use layout. All devices have their own IR code pages that are hidden in the layout.

This is my first attempt at a PCF. I did a lot of testing and learned a lot from everyone else's designs, so thanks a ton for that. Clearly this design is heavily influenced by contest entry #3 so props to Brian for it. I have been lurking on Remote Central for the longest time and this is my way of saying thanks.

I have tried to do three things with this design. One, I found most designs to be visually overwhelming so I tried to keep this one as minimal as possible. There is a slight transparency to everything that allows a background image of my old Mitsubishi TV to come thru. Its supper subtle so, I didn't bother changing it when I upgraded my TV last year. Everything was created as squares and rectangles in Photoshop without any outerglows, embossing or drop shadows. I have included 2 PSD templates if anyone wants to modify or update an image.

Two, anyone can use it with no more than 15 seconds of tutoring. I have had the design evolve over the last 2 years and after countless guests and a live in girlfriend, I am very confident of the navigability and flow. I have also kept all of the back end config options of replaced remotes out of the design. I am the only person that... (more)

In this configeration i used some of the icons from Daniel Tonks version of the 6000 and 7000 and combined so you can see through the device buttons into the background. I also have Australian FTA TV channels and radio icons for melbourne. There is a sleep section which guides you through the steps and set the timer on the reciever and tv, and a zone 2 section to activate the second set of speakers smoothly.

This PCF includes all discretes for the Pioneer 84TXSi (not available from Pioneer at this time) and the Toshiba HD-A1, which will also control the RCA HDDVD player and the Toshiba HDXA1.

This design uses an XP theme with a Start menu to assist in transitioning to different activities. All On and All Off buttons are always available. Many of the graphics and icons were found in commercial icon packs which I own however a lot of the device control button were borrowed from Daniel's excellent library. This is my second custom layout and my first on my new 7500.

I have spent many an evening fiddling with my PCF. Although not one of the most graphical availabe, I have spent a lot of time utilising other peoples PCFs to make my own (THANK YOU ALL!). The longest thing to program was the Bose system. All the PCFs I could find wouldn't work properly so I spent hours searching, downloading and clipping various IR codes to get them to work. The end result? In my opinion the best Bose PCF there is on here, with none of the reported problems with twitchy volume up and down etc, mine is as smooth as a whistle! I have tried to make it as easy as possible for people to use my PCF and "modify" it for their own needs. I have wanted a ProntoPro NG for ages and if it wasn't for this site and its members I would never have taken the pluge and finally got rid of the inferior Harmony 885!

A complete system setup for the following devices.

This straightforward PCF came about as a result of the need for a design which handles the addition of long strings of text and ongoing button realignment without difficulty. In the past I have concentrated on a customized label for each button because the text looks so much better, but the shear volume of text used in this PCF made the model insupportable. So I ended up settling on a simple button and frame design so that on going additions are made easier. I even developed a simple repositioning graphic (behind the frame) to aid in this constant and frequent process. I then focused on buttons and various frame openings being perfectly aligned so page jumping is visually less tiring and annoying. The priority has become the burgeoning growth of my DVD collection. As if continually adding movie thumbnails to the file and various genres wasn’t enough, I came up with the idea of adding two new search engines! For those who don’t readily recognize the picture on a DVD cover, I added Search by Title and Search by Actor. All of the artwork for this PCF’s design evolved from the needs of the DVD Lobby area and then migrated to the rest of the file for a consistent and professional look... (more)
