Master Control Panel allows you to build a graphical interface (GUI) to control all your home theater and home automation equipment from your computer. Version 1.5 is finished and available for download. Come check it out , along with our updated web site!
What's new since version 1.0
Totally reworked the way plug-ins are managed
All plug-ins are now installed along with MCP. Copying .dll files is no longer necessary. Plug-ins can be enabled, disabled, and hidden from within MCP.
Plug-in loading and refreshing is now done in the background, allowing you to continue work.
Added Image Controls
Now buttons on the control panel can be based on any image you choose. You can make buttons out of digital photos, icons, and any of the thousands of free buttons available on the Net for building websites. Most image file types are supported. With this feature and the background image feature, your MCP interface can look any way you want it. Screenshots are available here.
Configurations can be shared between users
Even though everyone’s setup is a little bit different, users can benefit from each other’s efforts by sharing mcp files and fine tuning them to the setup at hand.
Multi-User environments are now supported
Now users with different Windows accounts can log in and use MCP with their own configuration, independently of the configurations set up by other users of the same computer. This includes support for the fast user switching capability in Windows XP.
