this isn&#8217;t something that will be formally productized.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a great application for what it does, and as such,\u00a0I&#8217;m making\u00a0this application available\u00a0here for those who want it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_331\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quick screenshot of the preset recall app in action<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now for the quick description:\u00a0 this\u00a0is a full-screen desktop application which leverages the Windows 8 Metro design philosophy\u00a0for a modern look.\u00a0 The app\u00a0auto-discovers Spyder servers\u00a0on the network and allows them to be selected in a drop-down (top-right of the screen).\u00a0 Upon selecting a server, it&#8217;s command key\u00a0pages and associated command keys are displayed.\u00a0 The command key buttons are greatly oversized, optimizing them for touch-screen scenarios.\u00a0 A single\u00a0press of these buttons will recall the program cue of it&#8217;s associated command key, and active command key buttons will be displayed in red (take a look at the\u00a0screenshot above).<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or issues getting running, feel free to post a message on the blog here.\u00a0\u00a0It takes zero configuration to get running (other than getting your client PC on the same subnet as a Spyder), and as of this writing\u00a0has no known issues.\u00a0 Give it a spin, enjoy, and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n<p><a
