[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 1029466, member: 110423"] You can navigate through modern ui with the cursor keys and start apps with the enter key. If your remote uses these everything should work fine. I also added some harmony button that presses alt+f4 so that I can close any application or app. Another cool thing is to add shortcuts for win+1 to win+0 to start application which are in your start bar on the desktop. These also work in modern ui. So you can start specific programs directly with some harmony button. Another cool thing is to add the "Win" key to your harmony so you can switch between desktop and modern ui with some harmony button press. At the moment I've got the following: - My PC starts in modern ui - Now I can either navigate to MP and press Enter to start it or some button on my harmony which presses Win+1 for me and starts MP - Further more I've got the possibility with one harmony button press (which emulats "Win") to switch between desktop and modern ui to use apps while mp is open - Win some "Win+0" mapped key I trigger the standby of my pc. This is done by EventGhost. It shuts down MP and sends the client to standby. - Further more I added some eventghost logic to switch automatically to modern ui when specific programs (MP, Steam, XBMC, ...) close so I don't have to switch myself. To do this there was sometimes some trial and error but now I'm really happy with it :) [/QUOTE]
