The Pronto interface is completely customizable. The appearance and operational flow are completely up to the customizer that is creating those elements.
This flexibility is the Pronto's biggest strength, but the complexity that goes along with the flexibility scares most people, which is why Pronto's are marketed to custom installers who know what they're doing and can create a customized solution for each client.
This Pronto is aimed at the Crestron's of the world, not 6-in-1 universal remotes that cost $24.99. Once programmed, Pronto's can be very easy to use.
The Best Buy shoppers should stick with something like the Harmony from Logitech. It's hard to beat the Harmony for its Plug & Play functionality and low price, so long as you can live with the limitations of their approach.
