I've been asked to create an app variant of the RaeMote desktop widget for easier usage and to not clutter up desktop space while the remote is not used. I'd like to have a nice UI for this, so I'm looking for a good screen design for the app.

As the app makes use of the CIR port, I don't think a portrait mode app makes much sense (as holding the device in portrait mode covers the port), so you just have to create a 800x424 landscape design of the remote. The layout should be so that the buttons are big and easy to operate while holding the N900 in landscape mode. The following buttons should be covered:
  • Volume +/Up
  • Volume -/Down
  • Previous song/Left
  • Next song/Right
  • Play/Pause/Enter
  • Menu/Back

As a reminder, the real Apple Remote looks like this:



Thanks for your help
