Rowmote for Front Row

No, but I am going to as soon as I get home. Thanks for the heads up. I have been looking for something like this. I would really like to have all of this functionality (Remote app + Rowmote) in one app, but this will be fine for now I think.
Works great, nice little app. For some reason it doesn't look the same as the screencap though - instead of everything being circular, I have a square inside a diamond. I can't find a setting to change this.
Can you post some screen shots? sleep & home button together will take a snap shot. Thanks!
I've tried it. Works great as mentioned earlier. It also gives you direct access to iTunes, Keynote, DVD player and Quicktime, not just Front Row. You have to download a helper program onto your Mac.
But I get the same as longdogs - although it works, it doesn't look like an Apple Remote. Can't upload a screenshot, sorry. I'm not at my main Mac.
If it's relevant, I have a first gen iPhone.
Edit: Realized I could email myself a screenshot.

Agreed, that part could use a little work. Maybe Apple wouldn't let him use the same designno idea. It works great so far, but I think the UI could be tightened up a bit, maybe less boxy. That said I have really been looking for this and applaud the developer for making a very useful app that picks up where Remote.app falls off. Plus my little remote's battery is nearly dead. The batteries are way more expensive than this app, and (of course) the iPod/iPhone is rechargeable. Me likey.
I emailed the developer asking about the UI, and for a feature request.
I have Boxee on my Mini HTPC and I hardly ever use it since it means I have to drop out of Front Row and click on the dock. It would be cool if we could define, say, two or three more Apps to be controlled from the remote app.

I'm interested in an app like this but I find it really hard to want to support a deceiving developer. He may have had to change the UI last minute but he's had several days now to update the screenshot in the App Store and on his website.
remote buddy is way better. it combines the features of rowmote and remote from apple. you can control anything on your mac. many apps not only iTunes or front row but vlc, awaken, safari and so fourth. worth checking.
dont know if you can use it to sleep ur mac and wake it up. would be coool and complete

New UI
Rowmote has been updated with a new UI, which is something that we were discussing in earlier posts. I think it is a major improvement. It is actually pretty close to what I was imagining when I was considering how I would redesign it. Well done!
