An Adobe Illustrator file and an Encapsulated PostScript file of the authorized image for use in
printing on the top surface of the remote control are provided in the ―Resources‖ section under
Art Files for Green Start Button for Membrane-based Remote Control. In this artwork, line A
represents the edge of the button surface, and line B represents the edge of a simulated
chamfer. Line B is optional and is used to mimic the keycap and dome implementation more
closely. If you apply this artwork to a domed button surface, the green portion of the artwork
should extend across the domed surface of the button, while the surrounding line work should
appear outside of this domed or active surface. The Green Start button artwork that is provided
can be scaled to any size between 6.6 mm and 11 mm. However, the Green Start button image
cannot be smaller than the largest button image for any other buttons that appear on the remote
control.
Alternate device design implementations must be reviewed and approved by Microsoft
Corporation. For more information, please contact the primary Microsoft contact for that device
specification.
Design Variation: Screen-Based Green Start Button
A screen-based Green Start button can be used for devices with a small digital display instead of
buttons. For example, a remote control might have a digital touch-screen instead of buttons. The
image of the Green Start button must not be smaller than 9 mm on the screen so that the end
user can find the Green Start button quickly.

―Resources‖ section under Art File for Screen-based Green Start Button. Alternative device
designs must be reviewed and approved by Microsoft Corporation. For more information, please
contact the primary Microsoft contact for that device specification.
