Create a Remote

To create new remote from scratch, tap the "+" button at the top:

iRedTouch changes to Edit Mode and selects the default name, ready for you to type in a new name:

After naming this new remote "Sony CD", I'll add the background image.

You can choose one from your built-in Photos Album, or choose a copy from an image, for example made in Safari, then tap on Copy. The image is displayed:

Now tap the buttons onto the image, i.e. the areas where you later want to tap on:

To resize a button, hold two fingers anywhere (!) on the image, wait a second, then pinch.

Please note, that the button which is cureently selected is used as a template for the next new button. So in my example, I only have to resize the rectangular button once, then tap on the next buttons.

Now all buttons are placed:

To change the shape or position of multiple buttons at once, tap on one button, then double-tap onto the following ones to make a multi-selection. Then all selected buttons are affected at once, e.g. by changing their shape to "rounded" or by resizing using two fingers:

Tap the Edit button at the bottom to see your new remote on top of the list of your remotes:

Tapping on this remote will do - nothing! We have not yet added any actions, especially IR codes, to the remote. Please proceed to the next chapter.
