Guifx are starting to post RTI templates for the K4, T4, and T2-C

looking good so far!!

Not impressed yet to be honest with you.

I am a big fan of the red silk theme. All I need is a bigger collection of buttons. Cameras, I-pod, blu ray...

I have a made my own versions so far, but I am far from a graphic designer...

I agree. I can't wait to see what Noel comes up with.

I'm not sure if I could use it.. but I'll probably pick up the META templates. They do look nice, and lots of new buttons which can be used in other templates as well.

My T2C templates are working well, and don't really need much of a change.
I haven't used a T4 yet..

I'd like to see GUIs aimed at the K4 and RK3. The RK3 is the most limited control we use (few hard buttons, smaller screen) but we use it alot.

I'd like to see designs for the K4 (specifically) which assume that you cannot see the TV while operating a source.

Anyways, I think the META looks decent, and hope to see more in the future.

Designermike,

I just finished the last one which was the RK3, I am getting all of the graphic libraries together along with screenshots for submission. Instead if integrating all of the bitmaps like the default templates do, I have special pages to cut and paste blank buttons of ever size that are already in position.

All of the buttons, backgrounds, etc... will come stored and organized in outside folders so you can use them for other projects as well. Someone posted earlier that they wanted to see more neutral color schemes so I included a nice selection of backgrounds that would go with more modern design trends plus the usual brighter colored ones.

I will be (finally) putting up the downloads section on my site which will initially feature some extras for the RTI templates. I made a collection for all of the different sports package icons for the activity menu so you could write a macro for let's say "NFL Sunday Ticket" which could turn on your TV, change the input, then go straight to the Red Zone Channel.

I hope this doesn't sound like a sales plug, I'm just very excited to have finished them and hopefully people will like them as much as I had fun making them.

Has anyone used or know if the 640x480 flextheme package on guifx is usable on RTI equipment? I sent an email to them but thought I would ask here. It says it is for AMX but I didn't know if it comes as one graphic that you put transparent buttons over, or if comes similar to the curacao transport graphic as one but when placed is seperated out.

Hi ErikS,

As the guy who designed those templates, I can help you out. The FlexTheme was designed for a GUI that uses a stationary set of menu and source buttons with popup pages. It wouldnt lend itself well to a full page flip based interface like the T4 and K4 due to screen size.

I wouldnt put FlexTheme on anything smaller than 8.4" because it starts getting cramped for decent sized buttons on keypads and transports. Every graphic is png transparent and separate, you can move anything anywhere and the colors show through from the background image.

I haven't put any screenshots of the new RTI templates up anywhere but the T4 and K4 use newer, updated versions of the same buttons used on FlexTheme for AMX and Crestron plus a whole bunch of new custom ones. I am uploading files to them right now, I just finished compiling all the image libraries and the rest of the files.

I named the new templates iWerx for the last five letters of the company name and it works with the ever popular "i" in front of every word trend. Hopefully, they will have them up and ready to look at in 24 hours or so. They are really quick at getting new designs online and ready.

If anyone has questions, comments, or submission ideas, let me know and I will either add them or put them on my site as free downloads.

Thanks Noel. I have purchased your MX-3000 templates in the past and loved them. You always accommodated me with custom requests.

Now that you are doing more RTI, I'm very excited to see what you came up with. I read on your site that you will be supporting the new T3-V when released next year. The full VGA resolution should make your templates look even more spectacular.

Dino

Yeah... I just wanted to say that the work (werk?) I've seen on your site so far looks excellent.

Can't wait to see the rti temps.

Hi fluid,

I had to make a few changes to the RTI templates, I hope to have them ready and up on Monday. Some of the images got removed and will be in a zip file for download from my website.

There will be a download link in the placeholders where the images go in the template that lets you download the file direct without having to go to my website.

Noel

Noel, Do you have anything on the works for AMX Mio R4 remote? I was wondering if I could buy the templates for the T2-C and RK3 and extract the graphics for the R4. Since AMX didn't provide any transport buttons for the R4, I would use a combination of both templates for now until you come with something for it.

By the way Noel, I use your Flextheme template for my AMX panels, the version that I have is from October 2006 and doesn't have all the sixteen theme designs but 5(Cameleon, Curacao, Luna, Pacifica and Serenity) and doesn't have the sports templates either. I'm calling GUIFX on Monday to see if I can upgrade it.
I downloaded the TP4 demo file from your site but when I tried to opened it is password protected.

Open it with the TPD4 emulator.

Got it Thanks.
