This was posted on the Progear group, thought it might be of interest.
Unfortantly no 800*600 support yet - so no good on a fuji tab.

<b>HomePanel 1.0</b>

This is a new integrated interface designed to be used with the crop
of SonicBlue Progears and other Windows based Tablet PCs out there.
First of all a few high level features:

- It is free and totally open-source.
- It will be massively supported by me since I'm planning to use this
with my entire Home Automation and Home Theater system.
- It allows up to eight Progear or other TabletPC remote control
devices.
- It can control HomeSeer remotely by executing direct X10, HomeSeer
events, and IR commands.
- It can act as a full featured and multichannel MPE jukebox.
- It has built-in Web interface if you want it.

Right now this software has been developed mostly for my needs and
desires. I will be doing additional work on it to improve and refine
the functionality. Any suggestions can be sent to me at
lrowland@xxxxxxx

I have setup an extensive webpage to introduce this effort here:
http://www.gadgetland.net

You can download the program, user's manual, and source code here.

Note that the following are things I plan to do to HomePanel over the
next few weeks:
- Integrate it with DVDLobby Pro for those who have it.
- Allow the skins function so users can change the look of the
interface to their own desires. (The application is already designed
to allow this for the most part so it should be easy.)
- Expand the MP3 jukebox with user createable playlists and favorites
selections.
- Design a sleek and skinnable IR interface to replace the massive
button array currently being used.
- Change it so it will work with 16:9 and 800x600 resolutions - it is
1024x768 only right now.
- Modify the X10 function so it can read the device and event list
automatically from HomeSeer and setup the first screen.

Thanks,
Larry
