Hi all,

Basically I have a 770 with OS2006 at the moment, and what I want to do, I would like to be able to use it as an MCE and home automation controller.

I have an MCE machine with doubles up as the home automation server, and everything on it is controllable via TCP/IP.

At the moment I use a webpage which I wrote myself in ASP.NET with AJAX to do this, running on IIS on the MCE machine, and have MiniMo on the 770 to point to the webpage. But obviously its a very long-winded route and very slow being a web solution. (Click on a button on the webpage in MiniMo on the 770, MiniMo communicates with the IIS on the MCE machine, IIS+ASP.NET parses the request and converts it to a TCP/IP message)

So what I want on the 770, is a touch screen interface app, which lets me put a few buttons on the screen, and when I press the buttons, it will sent out TCP messages to a pre-configured IP/port. The main thing is the app must be skinnable.

Any tips/suggestions/advice/recommendations?

Thanks.
