NT Designs adds Multicolor segmented gauges/sliders to free downloads
Posted by Dave in Programming on November 27, 2009
This came out about 3 weeks ago, but I think it is great that companies like NT Designs offer up free graphics in their download sections. Although I”m sure they hope the quality of their free products will lead you to purchase their other items, it’s always nice to have some of the these objects in your arsenal when designing most interfaces. As many of you know, designing the interface usually takes the most time in your program (at least it should if you are doing it from scratch and you actually want it to look good and be functional). Companies like NT designs, as well as others, try and help us programmers out by putting together some pretty slick looking packages that we can just “plug” our signals into. GUIFX has been the leader for the past few years, but it is nice to see some friendly competition. Click the read link below to go to their download sections, but be nice and spend some time reviewing their paid products as well. These guys put a lot of work into this stuff and deserve a good look!
URC introduces “URC Control Room” website at CEDIA
Posted by Dave in Programming, Software on September 4, 2009
Universal Remote Control (URC) has announced that the new URC Control Room website will be coming online shortly. In it, will be free templates, graphics, device control modules and more. In addition, developers will be able to buy and sell their own creations to others similar to the iPhone appstore. We think it’s a pretty cool idea and wheter you choose to buy or sell, or just use the free content, it will hopefully keep all of our interfaces and ideas fresh. Plus, if who ever liked looking up and typing all those 232 strings anyway? With pre-made modules, hopefully things should be a little more simple for all of us!
Cinemar’s MainLobby Library 28 up for CE Pro Best award.
Posted by admin in Announcements, Programming, Software on September 2, 2009
As you have probably gathered, I have been a long time user of the Cinemar MainLobby product, even before they had the MLServer component. One thing that has always had me coming back was their delivery of stunning graphics at a reasonable price. Well it looks like they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. In an earlier post I mentioned that their Library 28 was up for a CE Pro Best award, but I though it deserved a post of its own. While I haven’t purchased this product yet myself, I have quite a few of their previous libraries and they have never disapointed. I just wanted to send out a personal “Job well done” to all the folks at Cinemar. Keep up the good work.
