Screenshots of My CCF - work in progress

[Tim K]

I began working on my CCF yesterday...and I think the Tonto/NetRemote combo works great. I'm really happy with my progress so far. Now I just need to convince my Wife that I NEED a tablet PC for Christmas!

I haven't added most of my buttons yet, but they will mostly be round "colored glass" style buttons.

Since I don't have an HTPC/Media PC at this time, I'm not planning to use Girder for any applications. I intend to run everything via IR. I still wanted to get weather reports so I just did it the ghetto way. I found a free weather site and created a web frame. It'll do for now I guess. I'd like to find a way to integrate a desktop "weather magnet" program into NR rather than use the web method. Is there any way to imbed applications into NetRemote without using Girder/LUA?

Are there any applications for TV Listings? I haven't seen anything here and it is something I'd like to do....though I don't want to have to use a web site like I do for weather.

Here is the shot of my TV control page. I only added a couple of buttons so you can see the style I am using.

All of the metallic buttons have "pressed" states as well with "illuminating" text and "light up" status lights.

The "brushed metal" look is actually much better than it appears here. I converted the screen shots to GIFs so the quality is poor.

Not bad Tim for one days work, very impressive!

EDIT OT: Noted that I just turned into an "Experienced User"

Looks great, Tim. Can't wait to see the final version!

Could you upload your ccf when it is done.

In the mean time, could you upload your graphics?

It would be great if you could.

:P

When I'm done I'll post my CCF. I'm not done with the graphics yet either but I'll try to get them up in a seperate file as well.

Besides, if I was able to post my CCF now, other people would get to use it before I did and that's not fair!!!

I better hurry up and get a tablet PC fast!

[danward79]

Exactly... or buy it for her as an early pressie?

Well most of us posted our stuff before we were done with it also. Is a project like this ever really done.. hehehehe?

Depends how you look at "done". Once I have completed work on my CCF, I will consider Version 1.0 to be DONE....and then I am sure that I will immediately begin work on Version 1.1....and so on. So, yes you can be done....for now.
