Picture-Remote

Before reading this section you may want to read the general section about Remotes

=General= Pictureremotes consist of Buttons, Hotspots, and Rectangles (for layout) and a background (Wallpaper, Photo or single color). The colors of the control elements are widely configurable. =GUI - Elements=

Button
A button shows an icon or text.

Hotspot
Hotspots are areas (may be set invisible). They can be used to add functionality to parts of a photo. You can use a picture of your homecinema or your old remote for example and place hotspots.

Rectangles
Are used to visible group buttons on the screen. You can also assign commands to rectangles. =Creation= To create a pictureremote choose the "Create Picture-Remote" entry from the menu that appears when you tap the + symbol in the remotelist. In the creation dialog you have to choose a name and a background. Backgrounds can be chosen by using your favorite Gallery App (e.g. QuickPic). Also single-colored backgrounds are possbile. The "Save" button lets you save the remote. After the creation you will be sent back to the remote list. =Configuration= To configure a pictureremote tap the "Edit" entry in the remotlist-entry submenu. The following screen shows the remote. If no buttons, hotspots and rectangles are configured you will just see the remote background. By pressing the menu button you can choose between "Edit" and "Add".

When tapping on "Add" you have to choose between Button, Hotspot and Rectangle.

When creating a button you have to choose an icon or a text to display.

The newly created button will appear on screen.

Tap on the screen to position the element. By pressing the menu button once again you can:
 * Save
 * Cancel
 * Execute Same-size-as (gives the current element the size of the afterwards selected element)
 * Format-Dialog (to change size and shape of the element)

As soon as you created an element you can assign commands to it (Button und Hotspot) or execute other actions like edit size and position or set a new text. To do so you have to tap an element and choose an action from the list.

Colors
You can reach the colorscheme dialog by choosing "Edit" -> "Colors" in the "Edit" dialog of pictureremotes. You will then see the following screen:

The checkboxes let you choose which colors to edit. Pressing the colorcircle or the bars will change the colors. As soon as you created a nice colorscheme you can save it with the "Save" button.
