I am proud to introduce you to my Jade@MX-3000 configuration file.

Some key facts:

Almost 350 original graphics

Some 60 variables

About 330 Aliases / Macros

Hybrid navigation: Either via tapping the screen or by using the cursor keys

Full-working Tic-Tac-Toe, including win/lose recognition

Nearly all buttons with ON / OFF status

Animated screen changes

4 devices (TV, VCR, DVD, AMP) plus Status and Game screens.

Interactive HELP screens for all devices.

With this configuration, I wanted to push the MX-3000 variable capabilities to the limit. By doing so, the remote always knows, which state the devices are in, no matter what you do. The main selection page lets you choose whether to watch TV, DVD or VCR. Go to the AMP screen to change inputs or soundfields etc. Selecting STATUS lets you view and change the state your devices are currently in. You will also find four preprogrammed sleeptimers there. And finally: a GAME for two, the classic game of TIC-TAC-TOE. In the main selection you can navigate either by tapping the desired action/device or - for ultimate convenience - use the cursor...

Totally original layout using "LED" style buttons. Thanks to FreeButtons.com for their permission to use their work in this format. Layout relies on page jumps and animations to give the effect of buttons lighting up. Animated powering up and down and a animated "cleaning mode" page.

Bigblue is a totally original RCC file. All buttons and backgrounds were designed using the most basic of tools, ZPaint and Paint. It was designed to be used intuitively by anyone picking it up with no prior experience of unifying remote controls or the system being controlled. Where possible symbols have been used instead of words. This RCC has passed both the baby sitter and mother-in-law tests with flying colours! Lighting control is available from all pages.

If someone asked you what you wanted in the perfect remote control design for your Universal MX-3000, what would you ask for? How about a remote so intuitive that the babysitter or even your good old grandmother could use it? Wait a minute though, maybe you dont want to sacrifice any control for your state of the art equipment. Of course you would want the coolest looking graphics and buttons that aren't intimidating right? How about some animations you had never seen before (besides the bazillion dollar touchscreen on cribs) or even sounds that actually serve a purpose like keypad buttons that actually tell you what you're pushing while you watch the monitor. What about going a step further and have a pleasant female voice tell you which favorites you've selected by saying the name of the channel? Dont forget the little details. Would you want a remote that didn't have a bunch of tiny buttons that you cant press without the stylus from your PDA?

Wow! That seems like a lot to ask for in a single configuration right? Not any more, this is the perfect remote control configuration for you. Who knows, you may even get the wife... (more)

I really wanted to enter this .rcc to demonstrate to people how you can create moving animation to a degree. It's creative in mixing video with audio to try and recreate a mini-movie while a macro is being performed.

Here is my entry. I think it is unique because it isn't to fancy. It is functionally a great, and easy to use layout. The graphics are clean and easy to follow.

This is a file containing completley customized layout graphics for an HTM MX-3000. It contains backgrounds, buttons, animations, battery meter, and a generic template, for design ideas.

This is a sports bar themed basement. The remote was designed to control different areas of the basement, including background audio throughout. A lot of planning went into how to lay out the remote in order to control all the sources and rooms and still have the remote seem easy to understand.

This was my 2nd attempt at making a more graphical remote layout with some animated icons and bitmaps for a more interesting look. The remote's blue backlit buttons complement the background chosen.
