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.

Progear
<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
