We just posted three new button sets to the downloads area of www.ntdesignsonline.com. There is a ‘brushed metal’ set called Grimlock. These look great on a dark background and they also pair well with our segmented gauges and sliders. The glossy ‘woodgrain’ set is named Guthrie. Use this set with a nature scene as your background and it’s like a match made in heaven. Last but not least, there is the slick and shiny black set called Obsidian. These look good with just about any type of background and they also go well with many of our other free graphic sets. Each of the sets includes over 40 buttons with pressed and released states and they’re all in .png format with transparency support. Hope you all like them!

A very slick-looking set of shiny, amulet style icons in six different colors. The set of icon symbols is admittedly limited (and somewhat random), but blanks are included in each color for use with symbol fonts. The package also includes a fully vector, layered Adobe Photoshop (.psd) file that can be used to make more detailed icons in any color or size.

I just added a spiffy new freebie to the downloads area of www.ntdesignsonline.com. It’s an extensive set of segmented, “led style”, vertical gauges/sliders in .png format. The set features a wide variety of heights in two different widths: narrow; for gauge only applications, and wide; better suited for touch-operated sliders. The set also comes in five different colors: blue, green, amber, red and violet. There are 120 gauges total (240 graphic files including active and inactive states).
I would love to see these used for a complex, lighting control layout with a bunch of sliders! If you do something cool with them, send me a screenshot and I’ll post it on the blog.

This awesome, glassy, blue button set has a sleek, modern look that will make your touchscreens stand out from the crowd. We recently tested these on Crestron’s hot new TPMC-3X and they really “popped” on the screen. These buttons also use RTI’s file name convention for “inactive” and “pressed” states so they are ready to drop right into your Integration Designer bitmap library.

These two Photoshop files were originally created for Universal Remote Control’s MX-3000, but they would work well for any 320×240 pixel device. One features a brushed metal look with blue lcd style gauges. The other is a woodgrain motif with deep red gauges and hilites. Both files contain several cool Photoshop layer styles that can be saved, modified and used in your future projects.

If you know what this is, you’ve been in the custom A/V business for too long! This .psd file is a fully vector emulation of an old-school Audio Access keypad. It features layer comps for inactive and active button and led states. Perfect for that Crestron or AMX client that simply refuses to let go of the past.

This is a fully functional VT-Proe project that emulates an iPod classic. All of the elements are multi-state and the body of the iPod can change between 12 different colors at runtime. It uses .png graphics so the iPod can be “floated” anywhere on the page. It also includes a separate “shadow” graphic to add to the floating effect. Click here to see screenshots.

For those of you who install Crestron HVAC and would like the icon on your touchpanels to accurately represent the equipment being controlled; here is a 512px x 512px Crestron thermostat icon in .png format.

The Apple TV is becoming more and more popular as a media server in high-end residential systems. With several two-way control solutions now available, it’s a pretty sweet option considering most people use iTunes to manage their music library. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Apple TV however, is its gorgeous, user-friendly on-screen interface which you navigate with the included i.r. remote control. Despite the simplicity of the remote, I’ve found that the multi-function commands don’t translate well onto a touchscreen controller. I created this Apple remote “emulation” to solve this issue. If the user is familiar with the stock remote, he will immediately know how to control the Apple TV from his touch panel when presented with this.
The file is entirely vector so it can be resized to fit any application. There are also several layer comps included that switch between the various colors. With a simple drop-shadow or reflection effect behind it, the emulator looks great no matter what touch panel template you place it into.

The Regency template was originally created for the Crestron ST-1700C. It features a very classy appearance that combines the look of burled, darkwood with brushed metal buttons and ruby-red indicators. After several recent requests for more of our trademark woodgrain textures, we decided to add it as a free download. There are a few sample screenshots posted on the NTDesigns Picasa page and you can download the template at the downloads area of NTDesignsonline.com. Enjoy!
