Just trying to reconfigure my brothers MX-880 which the dealer put a fairly basic program for and gave him the CCP program should he need to make changes (he also purchased a 1200 and owns a 980 which he bought years ago). What I'm basically setting up is an "Activities" page using the Watch function where he can click on say "Play XMBC" and it will do a Macro to switch inputs, etc.
What I'd love to do is add some icons to the page 1 screen so that there is a image of the XBMC (similar to the above for the Playstation) but it won't let me drag and drop icons onto the Page 1 screen? E.g., put up 7 different icons that creates a cool little image.
I can't tell from the original post if this is only possible with the 810, or if it is also possible with the 880?
Thx
It's possible with the MX-880 as well. Just finished working up a CCP file this evening for a system, each page consisting of a collage of 6 buttons (*.png) which make up both the background and any button/text areas of the page. Not using any editor based text in this case. Used Photoshop CS3 to do all the graphics work. Created a PSD file which consists of a number of layers making it a snap to create a collage for any given page. Takes all of 2 minutes or so to create a set of images and thanks to an action I created in Photoshop, of that 2 minutes it only takes 2.5 seconds with one click of the mouse to actually generate the 6 individual image files for use with CCP. Gotta love me some Photoshop!
So once the images have been created it's a simple matter of adding those images to the "Alpha" theme folder within your own sub-folder
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Remote Control, Inc\Complete Control Program\MX-880\Images\Alpha\Icons\LP_Custom), so that when launching CCP they are available to choose from when going to add 6 new devices to the project via "Program\Create & Name Devices". I'll just bump to a fresh page from there, add my 6 custom images as devices to the page, save my changes invoking the new activities page and individual devices to be created, copy the resulting activities page to my target device, then going back to the new activities page deleting each of the device buttons from the page which in turn deletes the devices themselves before I then delete the actual page. Done deal.
Screenshots provided below from CCP to give you a better idea.
