1) plagiarize (in the file section there are many ccf's I am sure the owners have submitted them so that you can use it.)
2) If you want to create your own (from scratch).
---1) create a bmp file #colours<=256 size<=240x219 pixels on some image software (all PC's come with MSpaint)
---2) in Prontoedit create a button (something with an action)or a frame (does nothing)
---3)a) if it is a button load the image in the place for active unselected icon(to see it when a button is not pressed) active selected (while the button is pressed or a macro is running). Note 1)for most buttons selected does not matter (most of the time the finger is in the way and you don't tend to look at remote after you pressed the button. 2) the size of the button = size of smallest area (if one icon is 10x20 and the other 20x10 the size (truncated) will be 10x10)
b) if it is a frame load the image in the place for icon

I went from using other peoples CCF's to creating my own. Now i'm working on making a whole slew of new unique buttons to use on my next CCF.

There is a learning curve but don't let that keep you from trying. It gets easier as time goes by.

In all honesty the programming is more fun to me than the actual use of the remote.

Thanks for the props Mike. ;)

I agree with Lee...I can't wait until I can think of another thing to tweak :)
