My first Custom PCF. I modified the system bitmap files to match my homepage buttons and changed the battery meter. Lots of channel icons in here for those that of you are interrested. I'm not sure of the exact models of the eauipment because it was a quick job I did for a friend.
Ever get tired of the same old graphics on your Pronto? My design is theme based: each user can have their own theme! Or, a user can change themes every week or month. The button colors and backgrounds change, but the button placement is the same for all themes. My design has elegant buttons, a simple navigation system, and can be easily customized for any user.
This clean and simple design was based mainly on "OS X" graphics, device images from "Daniel's TSU3000" together with some of my own images. System begins on the "power" page where you can turn on/off TV, home theater (DVD) & cable with one button, go the the "lighting" page or go the specific device power controls. Across each page are shortcuts to "power", "DVD", "cable", "TV", "lights", "surf" and "activities". "Surf" includes 9 pages classifying channels into favorites, nets, learn, fun, news, sports and music.
In this configeration i used some of the icons from Daniel Tonks version of the 6000 and 7000 and combined so you can see through the device buttons into the background. I also have Australian FTA TV channels and radio icons for melbourne. There is a sleep section which guides you through the steps and set the timer on the reciever and tv, and a zone 2 section to activate the second set of speakers smoothly.
This PCF design is based on LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System), the graphical computer interface seen on certain Star Trek TV series. There are control pages for a TV, DSS receiver, TiVo, ReplayTV, Receiver, DVD player, LaserDisc player, 2 VCRs, CD player, tuner, tape deck, video games, lights, and curtains.
A few of the standard system items have been replaced to take advantage of the whole LCD and create a complete design:
The activity icon is now a Star Trek phaser and pops up while the Pronto transmits.
The battery gauge is a functioning LCARS-style battery gauge.
Pressing and holding the circular blue logo for 3 seconds takes you to the Pronto's setup pages.
Additional Info:
To go to the Home page at any time, press the lower-right "Home" hard button.
I tried to leave all device functionality as generic as possible, hopefully allowing most people to use this PCF in their own system without much customization beyond programming their device's IR codes. To simplify programming, a "Codes" page under each device contains buttons with the IR codes for that device. The actual device buttons link to these buttons for their IR codes.
SECOND PLACE WINNER! Chloe is a device oriented PCF for TV, DVD, VCR, AMP and LIGHTING. The file has a unique colorful 3D interface with transitional animations. Each device has a single page and makes use of the “firm” buttons, which are labelled on the LCD screen. Included is a template page for other devices or to flesh out included devices. All buttons have “delay” placeholders. Try it in the simulator to see the animations!
This is a complete, multi-room configuration based on Daniel's classic design. The first page of each activity is a simplified, wife-friendly version, the following pages are more complete. A picture-in-picuter section for the Pioneer Plasma TV uses separate pages for each of three consecutive PiP alternatives. There is also a security screen implementation (the code is 326). There are several backgrounds used. The guide button is often used, so it is enlarged and verticle along the lower right corner for ease of access. The DVR in the Study can send it's output to the Gym and bed room where the remote sends control signals via RF.
