A sample PCF file from Philips with three sample cursor control interfaces.

A simple but easy layout that works.

This is my RU950. The buttons and backgrounds are not special, but there are other things that make this setup intresting. The Code for the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200 for example is a reimport form a Logitech Harmony, so the cursor buttons are work pretty well.

This PCF offers an extension to the crome buttons of the standard 7500 gallery. It includes chrome transport and chrome toggles, which are missing in the standard. A second set of buttons has a transparent HP-calculator-style, which is good to read and recognize.

I like chrome so most of the layouts are that. For the CD I used a copper layout. For the Tuner and DV Cam I used transparency. From the Home page, short transaction animations are used.

On the Devices page you will find more stuff including the VCR and the DV Cam. I like my 5.1 speaker balance page which you can get to from most devices by pressing the 4-speaker button. You just select the speaker you want to adjust and use the left or right arrow keys. If you click the "RECEIVER SETTINGS" button you'll get to a page where I was experimenting with nature buttons. Looks like it could use some cloud buttons!

v3.0 I used some of Russ's Work plus Tom Uryga's bitmap files. I then started incorporating my own files and used clipart I had. I then also shot digital pictures of my ceiling fans, outdoor bar etc. I found that most PCF files had way too many buttons and were way to cluttered, which I thought made the interface too confusing to use. The coolest thing is to be able to control my electronic vertical blinds, turn on my icicle patio lights, outdoor stainless steel bar blue fluorescent lights, kick on my projector and 92-inch screen and watch movies sitting at my bar outside watching thru my living room window. The home theatre would be nothing without the Pronto! Thanks to everyone in the forum for their help.

This Pronto remote control configuration has a task-based user interface that maximizes ease of use for both casual and advanced users, while providing full access to all the audio/video devices' remote commands for complete end-user control. In addition to useful automated wizards and macros that turn on all the necessary devices and set their inputs and outputs accordingly based on what the user wishes to do, this remote has a number of useful features, including: a tab-based user interface for directly accessing the proper page of a remote device, user-friendly screens with progress bars for long running macros, an "activity" bar at the top of each page containing commonly used commands, extensive help text, a special page for allowing the Pronto's screen to be cleaned, and many more user-friendly features. Buttons are color-coded so that advanced use only functions are colored orange. This configuration is the TSU7000 colored version of the TSU3000 PCF I originally submitted in 2004, but has additional usability enhancements as well as support for significantly many more devices.

The main feature of this remote is the Tivo Alphabet so you no longer need the arrow keys to search for programs to record. It is set up for the HD10-250 but it should work for other Tivos as well.

This is an original design, except for the TV station graphics, a couple of buttons, and a rework of sat numbering. Color coding for each device, especially usefull for the 3 TiVos. Includes NFL schedule for last year but can be easily changed. This design is activity based, but can be used as a device-based.
