controlling the user interface in Windows Media Center. The Green Button is used exclusively for
starting Windows Media Center.
This brand extends beyond the remote into print and on-screen iconography. To extend the
branding, all Windows Media Center remotes will have the same Green Start button. The
Windows Key Logo license agreement specifies the requirements for licensing the logo.
The Windows Media Center Green Start button assembly size on a remote should be based on
the type of remote that is required. For the standard rubber-based Windows Media Center remote
control for a computer, the 11 mm Green Start button must be used. For a membrane-based
remote control, 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 of the other buttons that appear on the remote control. The 6.6 mm Green
Start button assembly, which is discussed later in this document, can be used only when the
height of the remote control housing is 12 mm or less. For more information about the Green
Start button, including implementation details, see the Green Start Button Requirements section
later in this document.
