ES_Dave Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I know you can add your own logo to the background and have done that with success. But has anyone tried to make their own background or skin yet? The background used seems to be really low res. If so, how did you do it? (add skins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Wired Up! Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I haven't done it yet but it should be pretty simple. Just match file type, size, dimensions, color depth. I'll try one and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myopic Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't know if replacing the whole background with a completely different color scheme would be very easy with the current process, because you would have to replace and recreate all the icon images. from poking around it looked like they were just squares that had the backsplash image built into them so that they would blend in withthe backsplash, they were not transparent images overlaid ont he backsplash image. I'm not saying its not possible, but probably a heck of a lot easier with some sort of theme tool that control4 has been hinting at.i'm interested if anyone has found that I'm wrong and it is easy currently. Plus, I am VERY interested in what others think are good ideas for GOOD Control4 UI themes. If and when control4 releases a theme (skin) tool, I would love to see other peoples ideas for UI themes right next to the composer drivers we are all submitting now. It is my belief that end-user UI is what makes or breaks automation products and when we get the chance, this community could really do some great things with brainstorming UI themes for control4. Kind of like the success remote central has had with the different graphical remote control schemes that people have made available to the community there.

danlevine Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 We can't wait till a UI kit is available. This is something that will make the system so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS2 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I agree with myopic. Once we can customize the interface look and feel, it's a whole new ballgame. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSAccess Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 We are working on one this week. Will let you know how it goes.Did you accomplish this or decide to wait until the UI kit is availible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS2 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I haven't given this up. We started on it, and then got swaped with work. It's a high priority however, because it'll be really sexy looking. You got me psyched to work on it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSAccess Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thats great!I was wondering, with what you have already done on it how involved or complicated is it or do you anticipate it to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
