Hope you are all enjoying Version 2.0.0.3.

I have done some digging as to requests to support something other than the 'Device' side of the remote. I'm sad to report that the only option that we will have available in the near future is support to generate Lists on the MacroGroup side of the remote. The Hard-Button functionality is severely crippled thanks to the Pronto Remotes. Marantz users have full support for hard buttons.

I am in the process of making the last set of enhancements for a while that shall be deemed as Version 2.0.0.3a or should I go for 2.0.0.4?

Included is this list will be....

1) Support for generation of lists on the Macrogroup side of the remote.

2) Support an additional layout for the visually challenged. This layout will display list items as the 240 x 34 pixel buttons for each list item.

I am posting this as I would like some feedback from the user community about how I should layout the text on the buttons. Should I allow for left/right padding with Spaces to allow one to put an icon on the button images?

As a result of new image requirements, I propose to create new Image Filenames for list items such that they do not conflict with the existing filenames.

Proposed Set of Filenames TBD...


Large_List_Button.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_1.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_1.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_2.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_2.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_3.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_3.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_4.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_4.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_5.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_5.bmp
Large_List_Button_AS_6.bmp
Large_List_Button_AU_6.bmp

Large_Continuation_Button.bmp
Large_Continuation_Button_AU.bmp
Large_Continuation_Button_AS.bmp

I would also like your opinion on the text for the buttons. For example:

"[135] Back In Black" (Disc# 135)
"[ 35] For Those About To Rock" (Disc# 35)
"(135) Back In Black" (Disc# 135)
"135 - Back In Black" (Disc# 135)

Back In Black (Don't display Disc #135)

And... Do we want Left/Right Padding to shift the text to the Right/Left?

This release will not be due out for a while so go ahead and download 2.0.0.3 and have fun.

In the future, in the interest of the Graphically challenged, I will be working on some themes for the Color Remotes to hopefully get things rolling.

If you would like to be considered for Beta Testing, please shoot me an email with an email address where you can receive emails up to 2.5 MB in size.

Thanks,
