iphone skin for vga

My apologies if I missed a post - is there an iphone or white skin for vga available? I have only been able to find the black skin, which is awesome, but wanted to try another out.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
White Skin

Do you have a Touch HD?

I made a white version of this keyboard for those who prefer it. I also made the letters blue in the pop-up keys for easier visibility (see picture below).

This is my same skin file (full German + full English + some Spanish mix) but adapted for color change. Also supports landscape mode. In the future I plan to make some changes to the English keyboard for ease of use. However, 99.9% of the credit goes to the original designers and developers. They did a great job!!! I love being able to configure the keyboard to my liking (moving letters around, making keys bigger etc). And I hardly make any mistakes when typing with this keyboard!!! :)

I'm attaching zip files for both the black and the white skins (with blue and red buttons as seen in the pictures below).

To install the white skin:

Download the zip file.

Replace all the contents of your skin folder with the contents of my "white skin" folder.

If you do not want a D-pad in portrait mode, you can rename the skin_no_D-pad.txt file to skin.txt, replacing the other one.

UPDATE: changed black skin, so pressed keys show lime-green letters. See screenshot.

Hi! Think this keyboard is pretty awesome and wanted to give it a try but I fear it isn't compatible with WM6.5-based ROMs. It's the first time I'm trying this, I don't think I screwed anything during install (I extracted in main memory/program files, registered, got it in input methods but nothing appears on screen)... can anyone confirm this WM6.5 issue? :(

You need to soft reset, plus the standard skin is setup for wvga, not vga, I think if you search the thread someone posted vga files.

Hello Friend,

You introduced to us to Face Contact sometime in March 2008. We bought it based on that it has lots of bugs and will be updated in June 2008/

No update so far!

Can you help?

Hi

SipChange functions perfectly in HD with every keyboard as well as with FingerKeyb with only one change in Initial Delay in 50.

Hey, I'm having the same problem as a few others have had and was wondering if anyone has any suggestons?

I extract the files to Programs/FingerKeyb and run the register (at which point it doesnt ask me to point it to a dll, but just gives me yes/no/cancel options to register) Once that is done, it appears in the input methods drop down menu, but when I select it and hit ok, if I go back in again its back to full QWERTY. Now I do have HD tweak and JS Advanced Config tool installed, but there are no options in those that I can see that would override the selected input method. I have tried soft reset, uninstall and reinstall etc etc and still no joy.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] namaste74:
only way it works for me is I soft reset before trying to select the keyboard.

Hello everyone, just a short post to say I haven't forgotten about v2.0, but unfortunately I had to go on a business trip and I'm stuck on a small island in the Adriatic at the moment... My net connection is slow, so I can't really follow the mails and updates, but I'm back home in 2 days and then I'll get back to you with more info on v2.0.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] speed200:
Take your time and good work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I don't see why being stuck on a small island in the Adriatic should stop you from working on v2.0. :D Just kidding! Take your time. We're looking forward to version 2 and in the mean time, we are having fun with v 1.4
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Nice keys. I like the "glossy look".

You can either edit the corresponding picture (.bmp) files in a photo editor and change the Hue. Or you can download my zip file with a variety of colors for those buttons that have color in them. See my post here. Or zip file here.

Kalinof already posted the link. Here is the direct link to the program.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Heart1010:
Perfect!

Thanks Chris Cross for your graphic and german works!!! And thanks Kalinof for your german cab file.

Small question: With this keyboard there isn't any auto completion (t9/ABC), is it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MacDegger:
@Heart1010:

Wow.... In case you can't read: there will be NO t9, but there will be the WinMob wordcompletion. That's been stated in the first post and in numerous posts throughout the thread.

Can I ask you this: how the hell do you miss that piece of information? Do you not read the thread? Did you only read half of the first post and then immediately post your question?

The devs must hate reading post after post of the same question which has been adequately answered in the first post and in many posts since. How do you miss that?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zeno Chan:
Fantastic soft keyboard. it's one of the best soft keyboard i have ever used. Thank you for your great work, keep it up!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Heart1010:
@MacDegger

I've read the first post but I also thought I've read somewhere here in the thread that word suggestions is/will be possible. I didn't read all 46 pages to check if there is something new to this sorry... first intention of my thread was to thank the guys who make this keyboard possible!

(in post 1 there is nothing mentioned about WinMo word suggestions....)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mcbyte_it:
seems very nice, but i still use the HTC keyboard because i like the compact QWERTY version of it (2 letters on each button, double tap to get second), any plans to implement it here as skin or some other way?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kalinof:
Hi Guys,

I found today, until i wrote sms, an omission im my issue(few days ago), so i made some little changes. Just added (,) and (.) in digits window (look at screenshot) for comfortable type. Download, rename file to SKIN.txt, then copy to Program Files/FingerKeyb/Skins.

I'll collect all changes until they increase enough and will release another CAB.

Enjoy
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Ok, I know we've been slightly late with promised v2.0, but Exidler sent me today a pre-final build with .cab, config utility and some nice eye candy effects (transparent "on-press" buttons, anyone? :) ).

I have tested it and found it working flawlessly! There is also included a two-way approach to getting SMS name suggestion / word suggestion, without disabling T9 on HTC keyboards, but it will all be explained in release info text.

Once again - the keyboard WILL NOT support T9, but it will have word suggestion if you want it. You will be able to select what kind of word suggestion you want to use (contact name / word / both / none).

If I got the numbers correct, we have 19 working language layouts :) Some people haven't yet sent theirs, so if anyone is finishing the skin text files, now is a good time to send them in if you'd like them included in the release. If not, we'll just post them later.

Also, I will do my best to complete a design that will mimic HTC gray style graphics before the release, for those who don't like the black versions.

So, that's it for now :) Don't want to give out any predictions about release date anymore, but it's really close now. We'll open a new thread and let everyone know once it's up.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Awesome! Looking forward to it! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] c_legaspi:
i agree, very nice work. any chance of getting the keyboards slightly a little larger. i find the touch keyboard keys a little more friendly to use with my small fingers but it messes with my physical keyboard on my x1a.

to clarify, your keyboard works great, just wish the on screen keyboard buttons were just slightly bigger. it seems touch stone black keyboard is slightly bigger but as i mentioned, it makes some buttons on my physical keyboard inoperable.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skywarlker:
It is a great and nice keybroad. Thank you very much all your hard work. I am a Chinese. Could any one modify the second language input to "中文五筆"?

Is there a chinese pinyin around which I can use? So I don't have to rely on TouchPal as I don't really like its T+ input.

If not, I can wait :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Can't promise you VGA. We do have it, but it's portrait only. I'm guessing we'll attach the VGA cab so users can make their own landscape layouts.

For me it's hard to make a layout without actually being able to see what I'm doing :/
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hanackin:
You can use the windows mobile emulator for that dude :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] g2tl:
Will I be able to use the same skin file, or is it a complete redesign?

I guess portrait works because that particular dimensions are the same (480px).

I used to work on FingerKeyboard2.1. Ah the good days...

Croatian boy,

Listen: there is the Android OS, and your`s fingerkeyboard is the best experience that has been and could be found for Windows Mobile.

Submitted: You and that guy (the Russian) on the Android operating system.4

Maybe the Apple of the Blackbery.

Windows phone etc.

But set the standard, in the world that it should work and look.

Made from your hobby a nice job!

Aways thinking of ordinary people, and where and how you started!!!

for example:

In this world no more than a billion people are using T9, almost all are in English only or there is a super good working T9.

The rest of the world is waiting on their T9,

is not this what for you two or three

Gdje si vidjeo T9 na Hrvatskom jeziku i da jos dobro radi kao i ko to koristi?

Ja jos ne i ne postoji uredjaj na kojem to jos i dobro radi.

Also, the latest landscape version has romanian language support, not russian like the original. If you want russian, then use the skin.txt from Berkut's post #33.

Can anyone post a good useability report? Someone mentioned that they keep hitting the key above the intended letter. Is this keyboard at all less error prone than the regular HTC one? Or does it just look nicer and have the smileys/www. keys?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] BadCluster:
I've the same problem with italian language... at last I've remove these buttons

I attach my version of keyboard!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nikki-m:
re my earlier post regarding adding a slightly longer delay before the key changes to its alternate character, I find that this keyboard has the same delay characterists as other keyboards (windows and HTC).

But if you try to use it by moving your finger over the keyboard until you have found the correct letter, it has already changed to its alternate character unless you are really quick. This effect isn't noticed so much on the other keyboards, because you HAVE to select the right key first time, otherwise your finger blocks out what you are pressing.

Because this keyboard shows the letter being pressed above your finger, you can position it better or at least move it until you get the correct letter.

The standard delay works great when using the PDA on a table or your lap. But this keyboard allows you to type in far more awkward or difficult locations, eg a moving train.

I just feel that it would work even better with a longer delay. I think the same also applies to the function where you long-press the shift key to activate the Continuous Capitals function. When long-pressing, it alternates too quickly.

Other this this issue, this is such a brill keyboard, and way better than the HTC one. Well done.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Hello Nikki, I must've missed your earlier post, but we're obviously sharing same thoughts!

Because in fact, in latest v1.3 I have slightly extended the delay time for alternate keystroke. I feel that this it's better now (went from 350 to 400). If you feel that you need even longer delay, just edit the HoldTime line - it's the second line in Skin.txt file.

Personally, I intend to polish this little keyboard to the max, because it does seem to be the best Touch HD keyboard, both performance and usability wise. And I hope people like the visual style as well :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Tnx

I would like to thank everyone for their support! Especially the people who have been working hard today to produce a working landscape mode, it has really been a joint effort - great job everyone!

Please use the keyboard and if you have time, try improving it. We still need a numeric / symbol keyboard for landscape mode, and also skin.txt files for other languages. I feel that the Skin.txt file is really easy to understand (just looks that way, believe it or not but I have no previous experience in any of this and I figured it out in 10 minutes).

So now would be a good time if people would slowly start producing localized versions. My suggestion would be to keep the English keyboard layout as default in all versions + 1 more language. So once everything is 100% working we can start making .cab files for different language versions.

As you all saw, the landscape mode is almost fully functional - in english at least. Please write suggestions if you feel that the landscape mode needs improvement in character layout.

Now I'm off to bed :P Been a long day...

I'm probably the only one that will benefit from this but as a Dvorak user I find it a bit annoying when going between my computer/laptor to my phone as the phone has no support for Dvorak. It's great that this keyboard is so customisable but unfortunately the rows don't have the correct number of characters. Is there a way to alter that?

Also can the Russian layout button be removed? It seems pointless for most users who simply only use the English layout.
