I was very disappointed with the TSU-3000 GUI. After all these years of experience, Philips seemed to make a step backwards.
I do realize that the full screen is available and as a result, this may not be much of an issue for most of us. However, when using the full screen resolution, the System Items are not available. (yes, I have seen the punch out to show the activity status).
I have taken a stab at redesigning the System Page. The result is a design similar to the RC-5200/RC-9200 GUI. Even the remaining screen space is the same: 240x270.
Seeing is believing. As I do not have a TSU-3000, I am looking for some volunteers who can help me to do a proof of concept before I upload the PCF to Remote Central. Send me an e-mail (spee at gol dot com) and I will send you a copy of the PCF.

Page. How do you do that? It seems fixed to me and you either take or leave the various bits.

It is fixed in ProntoEdit NG, but all the elements are in the PCF file. Editing the PCF file by hand allowed me to change the contents of the System Page.

I cannot see any way to save a config file as an xml file. I looked in the help, but there is nothing there. How do you convert back and forth?

To change back and forth...
Change PCF extension to zip, unzip it.
Make changes in note pad.
Use you zip program and zip the files back to a zip file..
change the zip extension back to PCF...
load you changed file in PENG

You need to add a comment to the zip file. Check the comment on the original .zip (.pcf) file and then add one with exactly the same form which you rezip things.

Try doing it once without any editing, and see if it will open. You have to be carefull what you edit, it is easy to "make it out of range" where peng won't open.

There is no need to rename the zip file. Just right click on the file and select open with WinZip executable. Extract the files (keep the folder names). Make your changes and add the files to the original archive. You won't need to add a comment doing it this way; the comment is already in the original archive.
