Choosing A Style
Multiple STYLES of Backgrounds, Source Buttons, and Function Buttons are included in a graphics
library within the software. Each STYLE contains its own set of Backgrounds and GTL’s (Graphical
Touch Links). Once a STYLE is selected, only its associated Backgrounds, Source buttons and
Function Buttons (GTL’s) will be available.
Backgrounds
To choose a style:
1) Make sure you are in Graphics Mode. If not, click on the Graphics TAB in the XTR39 window.
The GRAPHICS window should now be displayed in the work environment.
2) Click on a STYLE from the list and browse the associated Source and Function GTL’s shown
in the list until a desired style is found.
3) Once a suitable style is found, click on the Backgrounds TAB and then click-&-drag (drag-&-
drop!) the background onto the XTR39 Systems window.
Building a Page (Working with GTL’s)
GTL’s (Graphical Touch Links) are in plain terms, a graphical button that can pressed to initiate a
macro of IR commands or to call up a page of additional GTL’s. Source GTL’s will always call up a
page of Function GTL’s and can also have a Macro associated with it if so desired. Function GTL’s
can initiate Macros, call up an additional page of Functions, or do both with the same touch of the
GTL. (i.e. Creating a MENU GTL can initiate a macro to call up a menu screen on a DVD player AND
call up an additional page on the XTR39 screen containing the Cursor GTL buttons to be used when
using the DVD menu.
Placing Source GTL’s
Once the Background is placed in the Systems window, click on the Sources TAB in the GRAPHICS
window to display the Source buttons associated with that Style.
1) Select a desired Source button (i.e. DVD, SAT, VCR etc..) and in the same manner, drag-and-
drop the Source GTL onto the grid. Note: If a Source button with the proper legend (DVD, SAT,
etc..) is not shown in the list, select the BLANK Source button (no lettering on the GTL) and
drag it onto the Background. BLANK GTL’s may be edited and customized for text and color.
Please see the section Editing GTL Properties below for instructions.
2) Once on the Grid, the GTL can be placed anywhere on the screen. To move the GTL either
Click and Drag to the proper placement, or simply select the GTL with the mouse and then use
the arrow keys on the PC Keyboard to move the GTL around.
3) Repeat Steps 1 & 2 for all desired Source buttons
Note: When a Source GTL is placed on the screen, a new PAGE is automatically inserted for placing
Function GTL’s associated with that Source. If extra pages are needed for that Source, multiple
pages can be inserted for a single source. (Please see Inserting Pages)
Placing Function Button GTL’s
Once a Source page has been inserted, you may now start placing Function Buttons (GTL’s)
associated with that Source onto the Source Page.
1) Click on the Source button located in the XTR39 Systems window. The Source button should
now appear selected. Note: GTL’s have an UP and DOWN graphic associated with them. UP
depicts the GTL in its non-selected state and the DOWN graphic depicts the GTL in its
