Can L5 do this?

Postby Txbui » Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:47 am

I would like to setup L5 to have each person in the household program their own favorite channels. So, "Dad" button, once pressed, would have my favorite channels come out like a drawer showing their respective icons/logos (CNN, ESPN, FOX BUSINESS, ...". The "mom" button would close mine but opens hers. Is this possible?

Yes. This would be very easy to setup. All you would need in the drawers would be a macros to select each of the required channels. You could then add the channel logo to the button.

If you want help with the logos just post your request here.

Att. ianbuckley; I'm very curious on how you are able to get this crispy aluminium button and skins which appear in your samples here!? Look forward to an answer....! :~)

@Yoman
The metallic backgrounds were found by searching for "metallic" or "stainless steel" wallpapers using google image search. The buttons by searching for metal radio buttons or media buttons.

Att. ianbuckley!

Many Thanx!! When I saw the aluminium background I was thinking SKIN's directly on the remote program on my iPod/iPad rather than to work with the "wallpapers" through the L5 Cloud web page...
Anyway; I recognize that your L5 Cloud web page is more userfriendly now and the design is much more better than the plain version you got earlier! Good!
The only question regarding this I have to ask you is; When I go back to my iPad to load up a new wallpaper or a new button design, it took ages of time to get access to "my cloud".
The reason for that is probably that you now have givin' us a lot of new icons which takes time to load up! But the strange thing here is that you had put it in the wrong "folder"; All the images is in the "folder" "My Images" rather than the folder "All"! Can you make a check up on that in addition to make some tests on the lack of fastness when you try to load up an icon!?
-
Finally, I got one more question which I recognise in other links that you doesn't answer. Probably is to early to give us a definitive answer ....!?; I guess all of the users look forward to an
iPad upgrade now - how is the progress?

Yoman!! :-)

You appear to have identified another problem with the download of images that I will pass on to L5 Support.

I can't give you an update on the iPad release but the latest post I could find is here:
