For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Mike Burwen | Mike Burwen's Updated PCF This file updates the file entry-24.zip and contains several refinements. The DirecTV HD receiver changes from a Sony to a Samsung model which has a different feature set. The instruction screens have been significantly improved and now incorporate active buttons, enabling the user to activate functions directly from an instruction screen if desired. An X10-based lighting screen has been added. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Bruce Barrington | Bruce Barrington's Design Library This is a complete design library that includes a PCF, a DOC containing design notes, along with Photoshop .psd files (and associated .png files) for all elements. The files are appropriately named and are organized in suitable sub-directories. The design objective is to provide an intuitive consistent remote control that looks like a high quality industry supplied device and can be used by anyone with minimal training and without reading glasses. This design is particularly effective in maintaining and restoring device synchronization. All buttons are realistically animated. |

For: Philips Pronto NG By: John Brandt | John Brandt's Custom PCF A pretty clean setup with mostly original buttons (except for the favorite icons and the help pages which were "borrowed"). The unique part is the NFL setup: I've filled in the entire DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket 2004/2005 regular season schedule by week, with icons for each team. The icons are linked to channel buttons to allow simultaneous control of two TVs for "Picture and Picture" action every Sunday. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: David Beck | Contest Entry #01: Perforated Metal RUNNER UP! I have put a lot of thought into the layout of my PCF design and I think it makes good use of the Pronto NG’s color capabilities without being gratuitously flashy. I wanted to give the design a sense of spatial depth and for it to have an industrial feel, like it was actually made of materials that would be used to construct an RC device, but I also wanted it to have a slightly surreal quality to make it fun to use.The design incorporates both “activity” and “device” concepts. The “cinema” pages, for example, execute macro events where audio, video and lighting adjustments will automatically be made. If however you wish to make an adjustment to the picture or sound qualities during these macro events, the “remotes” button will allow access to individual device control. While the file is large (please be patient while loading!!!) and the design contains a number of hidden and (seemingly) redundant pages, these were necessary for proper navigation. For example, when selecting the “TV” button on the “remotes” page to access the TV remote, the appropriate “source” button (DVD, VHS, etc…) on the TV remote page will be dimmed depending... (more) |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Adam Bursey | Contest Entry #06: Giraffe This layout is an evolution of my TSU3000 layout. It is activity-based and makes heavy use of macros to control my two zones of equipment and home automation. The layout of hard and soft buttons for each device follows a pattern, making it fairly simple to learn to use. It also contains a fairly extensive help system. This look is the result of my wife asking me to do a layout that matched her favorite purse! |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Adam Bursey | Contest Entry #08: Redrock This layout is an evolution of my TSU3000 layout. It is activity-based and makes heavy use of macros to control my two zones of equipment and home automation. The layout of hard and soft buttons for each device follows a pattern, making it fairly simple to learn to use. There is a help screen for each device. The skin is based on a pattern that matches the paint of our living room. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Adam Bursey | Contest Entry #14: White Plastic This layout is an evolution of my TSU3000 layout. It is activity-based and makes heavy use of macros to control my two zones of equipment and home automation. The layout of hard and soft buttons for each device follows a pattern, making it fairly simple to learn to use. It contains a fairly extensive help system. The look borrows from the plastic look of some of the Max OS X widgets. |

It is activity-based and makes heavy use of macros to control my two zones of equipment and home automation. The layout of hard and soft buttons for each device follows a pattern, making it fairly simple to learn to use. It also contains a fairly extensive help system. This look is the result of me playing around with transparent buttons. |

For: Philips ProntoPro NG By: Michael Burwen | Contest Entry #24: Simple Elegance This design was created with specific ergonomic objectives in mind:- Ease-of-vision, particularly by senior citizens. This dictated using relatively large, primary-color icons against a white background. The color scheme was devised by Mr. Gary Hoover, a retired famous movie-industry colorist and graphic artist.
- To provide self-contained instructions. On each page, depressing the owl "professor" icon leads to one or more text instruction pages.
- No more than two screens to operate any single device.
- To use the hard buttons as much as possible.
- K.I.S.S. i.e., pass the "wife" test.
Most of the graphics are original and were created with Paint Shop Pro 8. The instruction screens were created with Photoshop Elements 2.0. |
