    Show me your remotes

    Have any of you guys built any remote devices(device type of remote) using graphics (graphics in place of the default buttons)? If so can you post a pic so the rest of us or at least I can see how they look?

      Rupp, I have a Pronto tsu 3000 that I am almost done programming. I made most of my custom icons in place of standard buttons. It's not too hard. I can send you the file if you like, but you need the pronto software to view it.

        Rupp is talking about HomeSeer devices of the type InfraRed Remote.

        I have built a few using the layout of the original remote as a guide for the buttons.

        Here is a shot of my remote for a Dish Network 721.

          Yes, Jeff is correct. I attempted to (although in a lame attempt) explain it as best I could. Jeff did you simply place all the shown images in a particular directory and reference them via the properties of the remote device? What program did you use to create the buttons?

            I made a directory html/images/irbuttons where I put all my remote buttons. Then in the Infrared device setup I enter /images/irbuttons/buttonname.gif

            I use Paint Shop Pro and my wife uses Fireworks. However, most of the buttons you are seeing are in the Americana directory for touchpad. I just copied them to my irbuttons directory.

            Personally, I'm not very good at designing graphics but I know how to stretch, bend, mutilate an existing graphic. So for the ones that didn't exist already, I used the blank button provided in Touchpad and stretched it. Then I copied letters from the other buttons to the blank one. That way I ended up with matching letters.

            You can also get some pretty cool looking buttons by adding this to your style sheet.

            .irbutton
            {
            border-color: #7F7D82;
            border-top-width: medium;
            background-color: #0A0C09;
            color: #75CBFD;
            font-family: Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
            font-size: 7pt;
            font-weight: 900;
            height: 19px;
            align: center;
            }
            .irbuttoncell
            {
            text-align: center;
            background-color: Silver;
            padding-left: 0px;
            padding-right: 0px;
            }
