Configuring Skin Information
Create a new skin file before importing skin images. The skin file contains the device
information for that specific skin. Remote Control uses this information to detect the type of
device it is connecting to and then displays the appropriate skin.
You can configure the following types of skin information:
•
Extended Skin
. Extended skins are skins that have configured keymaps. If you are not
going to configure a keymap for this skin, do not enable this option.
•
Name
. This is the name of the skin.
•
OEM Info
. This may be the complete OEM string returned by the device or a partial
string. Remote Control will match the complete OEM string, returned by the device, with
the data entered here. For example, if a device returns “My Device 3100” and another
device returns “My Device 3110”, a skin with the OEM String “My Device 31” would match
both. This is useful when similar devices can share the same keyboard information and
slight display differences are not significant.
•
Client Screen
(
X
and
Y
coordinates). These coordinates reflect the height and width that
the skin will display in the Standard Viewer.
•
Screen Size
(
W
idth and
H
eight). If two similar devices return the same OEM but have
different screen sizes, you can specify the screen size for this skin so that Remote Control
will auto detect the correct skin.
NOTE:
A GUID is automatically assigned to the skin. You cannot configure this information.
