I heard Control4 may allow for full customization at some point soon. I am putting together some concepts using one of my new icon libraries. What do you guys think?




I also read the channel icons should be 300 x 300, but using that size requires me to upsize them which takes away image quality. Mine are 188 x 188, and I am wondering if C4 will scale them to fit.

Thanks for any help on this.

Noel

You can do that now with custom icons....

Do you want me to send you the instructions on how to do it and you can make a package for dealers to buy?

I received some great info from BlackWire regarding the home screen icons. Does anyone happen to know about preset channel icons (preferred pixel H/W and different sizes) that C4 requires?

I am unsure if you can use your own icons for presets, but I would love to talk to someone who knows the customization abilities of C4. It is all new to me, so I appreciate any help on this.

If anyone wants to test out the channel presets I created for Control 4, please let me know. I want to include a huge set of TV channels and SiriusXM with the icon collection.

I will make the presets a free download for the first few months, so I just need to know if they work as is or if I need to change them to a different size.

This is the actual size as they sit right now (188 x 188)



Thanks for any help on this. I am sure some of you know this software front to back and know what size works best for preset icons.

I forgot to mention, I added a slight hard drop shadow the logo portions of the icons to make them stand out against a lighter background.

The new Control 4 page just went live if anyone wants to check them out.



[Link: blackmancustoms.com]

You can click the link below to view the entire driver icon gallery. I re-created some logos completely (like Popcorn Hour, theirs is unreadable at smaller sizes)

I can add new icons / logos by request if there happens to be anything else needed. I made the preset channel icons a free download for the time being.

I would think that would be posted on the portal somewhere, right?

Or at the very least on the C4 forum.

I wish the icons hard a squared icon instead of round. The round ones look outdated. Something from the 90's.
