This time around I wanted to keep it simple and clean looking. Most remotes I program are for systems utilizing Media Center computers so there is the ability to switch to MCE in every screen. Once designed in this simplified looking way though, my next challenge was to secure the program by adding in a combination lock function to get into the learning and set-up functions of the remote. If someone is to download this and try to access the programming mode of the remote, they would need to toggle the screens to the right until they get to a programming access screen and enter in the code of 2006 in the on-screen keypad. This then opens up the programming mode. Very simplistic, but it keeps a customer out of relearning a particular button on an individual screen. All button functions that the customers access reference buttons on programming/learning pages that are hidden, so that reprogramming is more simple. Enjoy! More to come....

Colour PCF based on Daniel Tonks' TSU3000 PCF (which I loved when I had my 3000). Layout sorta carried out in iMac style. Trying not to remember just how long this took... and it still needs lots done to it, but I had to stop before I went insane!

Unique design approach that attempts to include frequently used buttons on all panels and to minimize movement between panels. This is an update of my previous TSU7000 submission, with a more refined look. Other unique features include efficient navigation of 100 plus channel and music choice logos; extensive use of extended IR codes for Yamaha RX-V3300 including volume and home banks. See my extensive gallery files in the "Design Elements" file section!

The graphics in this PCF are 98% original and are clean and simple, but effective. The overall layout is activity based and designed for ease of use. If you would like the original Photoshop files to mod for your own system, please e-mail me.

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.

Presenting the ProntoPro edition of my complete system setup file, now in gorgeous polished wood and tortoise shell! With sleeker curvres and more distinctly grouped buttons, finding your way is even more natual than before. In each new release I've put a ton of attention into making it easier to use and harder to goof up. Even people with big fingers should find the clearely labeled, large, yet spaciously arranged buttons to their liking. Quickly change source, navigate to any device, or rotate through a device's pages using the title bar, which includes a convenient pop-up menu. Toss in task-based macros (with progress bars for the longer ones) and you have an efficient system that's a real no brainer to use. Includes all the raw images and Photoshop source files if you want to create your own buttons and panels. Comprehensive documentation can be found at [Link: ratsnest.com].

My first PCF, all buttons and graphics are origional except for the help page graphic that I borrowed from 'Chang' and the header icons that I 'borrowed' ages ago when creating a CCF, I apologise that I don't know who's work they were as it was so long ago (but thanks).

Presenting the HD DirecTV TiVo edition of my Pronto NG PCF! With each new release I've put a ton of attention into making it simpler to navigate, easier to read, and harder to goof up. Even people with large fingers should find the clearely labeled, large, but spaciously arranged buttons to their liking. Quickly change source, navigate to any device, or rotate through a device's pages using the newly redesigned title bar, now with a pop-up menu that should have been in there from the beginning! Toss in task-based macros (with progress bars for the long ones} and you have an efficient system that's a real no brainer to use. Includes all the raw bitmaps and Photoshop source files.

This is my 2nd attempt at creating a PCF for the 7000. With this attempt, I have created most of the buttons myself. I did use Scott Harris' DirecTV icons (thanks Scott!) and borrowed from Jon Linville's DVD jukebox template. Besides borrowing from these sources, the rest is all mine. I am using many of the popular glass style buttons as well as a carbon fiber look for the DVD interface. The 400 disc jukebox has an alpha, numerical, music DVD, and sacd search engine. Most of the buttons have a "stamped imprinted" style lettering and symbols. Also, there are many one button steps for selecting HD and standard def programming.

I now have an Oppo which simplifies things a lot. So here's a new layout that just has audio or video.
