I took a few of the elements of the others and combined them to match my system with my programming style.

A complete system PCF file for the following components.

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!

A color version of my system PCF.

This file is based on the CCF that I developed for my TSU2000. It served me well for several years. This colorized version uses graphics that I downloaded from RemoteCentral (thanks guys). The programming logic is solid and makes the file very very easy to understand and use on your remote. It uses discrete codes for all devices except for the Motorola cablebox (I leave it on all the time). All of my CDs are organized alphabetically and accessible on the 400 CD changer. Favorite TV stations are also accessible by clicking station logos. DVD, TV, Cablebox, DVR, and Receiver menus are easily accessible. In short this is a very user-friendly file!

I hope you enjoy this amazing PCF designed by COUILLEROT and the French team from Homecinema-fr.com! (Amplifier, DVD, HD-DVD, BRD, Lights, TNT, Projector, Divx, Freebox, PS3, xBOX, SAT, DVD recorder...)

A complete system, including Apple TV v2, Sky+HD, several projectors, discrete codes for the TH42PV500, semi-discrete way to turn off Xbox 360 and many macros for switching everything off and one in one go. Features hidden database pages so you can design your own screens and simply link to the database.

I wanted to build a monochromatic theme with fairly large buttons, logical and simple approach, mostly symmetrical, and some fun on the way. Intro at start opens drapery and arrives at our home theatre…then you "launch" to Outer Space theme. Worlds “move” when pressed…adding depth to graphic. New SAT channel buttons designed to coordinate with overall “space” theme. I worked hard at making it “guest” proof but I’ve also included an extensive help menu with greatly improved text graphic throughout. All equipment buttons are “aliased” (pro 6000 term) or “linked” (7000 term) to Device Codes folder making it easy to change, upgrade, or compulsively buy something else in the future for the pronto to control! CD covers will be added when extra 16mb are released. Kudos to D. Tonks, Lyndel McGee, & Peter dewildt (just to name a few) for all the great help offered on the Remote Central site.

This is my second 7000 PCF design. This time I thought I would work on a design that used the colors found on the remote housing, plus some contrasting color that shows up well in the daytime. The background screen on buttons reminds one of the old tuner "eye" on ancient stereo equipment (now you know I'm over 50) so I call this a retro design. I was unable to get this to work in remote with latest firmware so I use it with V1.6.5. Current menu scrolls across top of screen as choice is implemented. All new button design took the most time because of highlighting. Dishnetwork channel logos (Dallas/Ft.Worth) are included in Themes.

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)
