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 (Width and Height). 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.

A GUID is automatically assigned to the skin. You cannot configure this information.

To configure skin information:

1  From the Skins menu, select New.

2  In the device information area, enable the Extended Skin option if you are creating an extended skin.

3  In the Name text box, enter the name of the skin.

4  In the OEM Info text box, enter device manufacturer information you want the Remote Control auto-detect feature to associate this skin with.

5  In the Client Screen text boxes, enter the pixel height and width for the skin image for the device.

6  In the Screen Size text boxes, enter the pixel height and width for the screen.

7  Click Apply Changes to save your changes.

Once you enter information for the mobile device, you are ready to import the images of the device that you have created.
