I think it looks great. Nice work

Looks vaguely familiar.

I like it.

The now playing on sat 1 and 2 part is a little tricky on the eye. I think it's because the labels to the right are on the black that appear to go under the metal?

Yeah I grabbed some ideas from you and addedthem to my rack series.... hopefully I will have some suprises. I am trying to get this template setup for popups in v2.0. I looked all over trying to find something I liked for the Sat 1 and 2 and this is all I have been able to come up with.. still not done with the buttons yet.

That's great, I like collaboration. And I can't take all the credit for my design, I looked a lot of screenshots from a variety of different systems before starting. Hopefully we can get some professional looking free templates up that Dean can use to promote cqc.

I originally started with IVBs template then I moved on to Rippers and then I combined them to make my own setup with some changes... Not really original but I needed something to work from. I was designing some templates earlier for someone else and when I saw yours it reminded me of the one I was working on before. By looking at yours I saw some better ways to integrate it all together.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery! That's some good looking stuff guys. My interfaces are in need of a facelift and are being redone for 2.0 and y'all have given me some good ideas. There is a serious shortage of good interface 'backgrounds'/'styles' out there and this is good stuff. Keep up the good work.

Looks pretty good. I likey.

One question and one comment:

Comment:
Unless you are a zodiac fanatic or the horoscope page is only intended for your family use who can memorize their symbol, for the laymen (ie visitors), I think text would be better than an Icon for picking a horoscope.

Question:
What are you using for lighting control?

I will try and see how I can implement text in the buttons..

I am currently using X10 but I don't have it connected to CQC yet.. I will do that once the ELK M1 is installed.

Thanks for the comments.. I will update with the results.
