Yes, it's freebie day.... A couple of the members on here (and myself) have been trying to figure out how to customize an MX-880, and after some trial and error, I got everything work perfectly. There is a new Fusion theme on our downloads page that you can easily install in the CCP editor simply by renaming one of the existing theme folders and copying / pasting a new one. There is also a set of TV and sat radio icons that you can add to the library (857 to be exact) that fit the default button areas perfectly. There are 89 new activity icons and the default CCP buttons, backgrounds, page headers and footers have been changed to match. Here are a couple of screen captures and instructions are on the downloads page. It only takes about 30 seconds to install. [Link: blackmancustoms.com]  Enjoy Edit: Make that 937 icons, I just added the 80 Sonic Tap images to the zip file.

No problem guys, there is also a free 980 template that has been up for a while on the downloads page. I recently updated the file so you can put your own text on the activities and added a bunch of new ones for streaming services etc...

A little update to the MX-880 theme..... Here is a direct link to download a set of colored backgrounds to replace the aqua default color. [Link: blackmancustoms.com]Instructions: Once you have the all the new 880 Fusion graphics in place and working, navigate to C:/ Program Files / Universal Remote Control Inc. / Complete Control Program / MX-880 / images / Alpha / Elements There are four backgrounds in the Elements folder with specific names that the program looks for when selecting the Alpha theme. Open a color folder in the new zip file, let's say Amber, and select all four backgrounds (Ctrl + A), then copy and paste (do not cut / paste or drag them in) them to the elements folder to replace the default aqua backgrounds. It may prompt you to copy and replace the existing files, click yes for all four. You can do this while CCP is up and running and your 880 project is open. A few seconds later, you will see the backgrounds change to the new color in the editor. They will be the new default color until you replace them with a different one.        Enjoy

Does anyone do Music Choice logos any more? They are still the Comcast default for music out here.

Couldn't at first drag the channel logos over.
My bad, learning this different style remote. Was trying to put favorites on the device pages, which doesn't fly. I got them onto the favorites page. Now I understand.

I wanted to point out that you can also make a folder for each color (Alpha Blue, Alpha Red, Alpha Green, etc) rather than keep changing the colors in the Alpha folder. Makes it quick and easy to change the background colors. I just figured out, you do still have to keep a folder named ALPHA so the graphics will show up but you can still have a folder for each background color.

I store the colored background folders right in the Elements folder to make it easy. CCP is a little different than the stand alone editor, but it's actually much easier once you ge the hang of it.
Music Choice...... let me take a look. I could probably knock those out pretty quickly using the layered Sonic Tap as the starting point.

Just so you guys know, I added a set of Music Choice icons to the Fusion MX-880 theme zip file on our website, so you may want to grab the newest version and put them on your CCP folder.
Tom made me feel bad for ignoring Comcast............
