If you're looking for animations and wild colors, then this PCF is not for you. It was designed with the older generation in mind, with nice big buttons, large text and a simple but effective layout. All buttons have a pressed and released state image. As on all of my PCFs, I have included the cursor buttons on the screen as well as the hard buttons. XaraX was used entirely for the design.

I decided to do something a little different on this PCF! You will find very few buttons that are ovals, circles or rectangles. Each type of button has its own unique shape and shading. Most of the text is on a curve to match its button. Almost every button is semi transparent to some degree using the PNG alpha-transparency. Most buttons have a pressed and released state. The pressed and released buttons are interchangeable, so you could change the color scheme of the PCF by changing these two buttons around.

There are sequences of lightning strikes that can be "animated" into your macros, so it looks like a lightning storm when the macro runs. The cursor buttons are both on the screen and the hard buttons.

Here is my Midnite PCF (black ground with lite colored buttons) for the Pronto 3000. The buttons are all original (except for a couple that I borrowed elsewhere). All the buttons have been tweaked for display on the remote. It has several wait pages for when a long macro plays. All devices have discrete power on and off. I have duplicated the cursor buttons on a lot of the screens because the wife has trouble pushing the "Hard" buttons with her arthritus.

This is a PCF for the Pronto 3000. It contains 99% original graphics in the 16 shade pronto palette. It also has several test pages for expermentation of graphics and different ideas. The background will be changed on future versions.

This is a "White" version of my Midnite PCF. There have been some new bitmaps added, many modified, and a few minor changes.Just about any page is only 2 or 3 button pushes away. I even used rocker switches for my power on and off buttons! It has been cetified as wife friendly. The PCF has been tested in the 3000 remote and most of the bitmaps had to be darkened for best viewing. There is a lot of difference between the simulator and the actual remote views.

This is my first complete system PCF. It's a hybrid of an activity-oriented design and a device-oriented one, and all the graphics and bitmaps are my own, and are intentionally pretty simple looking. I tried to design this such that there was only one page per device, with the most-frequently used buttons assigned to the hard buttons.

All you Trekkers out there will love this one... is there a GUI interface out there (movie themed) better that that of Star Trek? I think not! Even if you are not a fan you have to agree!

This is version 1.4 of my iPhone-esque design for the ProntoPro NG, but now includes the new iPod Touch Interface! The iPhone interface is still tucked away in the PCF though for purists. During the design, I found that much of the interface needed to be modified to fit the needs of a remote control, so it's not so much a complete copy of the iPhone/iPod Touch interface, but more my interpretation. This file includes updated reflective graphics from the original version of my PCF. Also includes new battery icons and new headers. I am also including the Photoshop files of each icon set in the ZIP file for those wanting more flexibility in creating their own icons, channel buttons, transports, etc.

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!

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.
