Its not allowed to link the attached files in the pocketpc forum ;)

The Layoutpackages are:

ModProject_(Update_4)_v1.1-english.zip

ModProject_FastReturn_(Update_4)_v1.1-english.zip

ModProject_FastReturn_hide_(Update_4)_v1.1-english.zip

ModProject_hide(Update_4)_v1.1-english.zip

First you need one of them. After, get one of the color schemes ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bmw2320:
I've downloaded. Would u be so kind by telling me the differences between them?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
ModProject_FastReturn_hide.zip

ModProject_hide.zip

Both of them having the hide keyboard button mapped on "v".

ModProject & ModProject_hide: Go to Smilies or Shortcutsskin and push a button. the smiliey/shortcut will be typed, but u will stay in this skin. Push and hold one of the buttons and you will move back to the characters skin.

ModProject_FastReturn & ModProject_FastReturn_hide: Do have the inverse behavior of the skins described above ;)

Thx Darkprince for ur skins. Finally I could use it on my Rhodium. If u have any more skins, please let me know. FINGERKEYBOARD definitely the best SIP for WinMo!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
On all the groud skins (DL, NK, and LK) the enter function is mapped on long press on the space button ;) If you don't you NK or DL, just deselect all layouts beside the LK in FK options ;)

I do not have any dusk themes. Maybe someone could create one :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
You mean this one? http://www.pocketpc.ch/software-tou...roject-neue-skins-und-layouts.html#post512350

I've made a new layout, for unicode stuff and recreated the digitslayout. First only for portrait, but landscape will follow. I will also made a HD2 version of the skins with the second space bar, so the SIP menu won't appear for the space bar (only if you touch the first space bar button), like here http://www.pocketpc.ch/software-tou...gerkeyboard-v2-1-modproject-7.html#post516547

I'll also try to create the pushed button effect like on the HTC keyboard. But to translate all the project into English has a higher priority :)

XT9 option : XT9/ABC switch

Officially fingerkb has never supported XT9 and its in the FAQ.... but

On my Touch HD, when I turn on XT9, using the htc "Full QWERTY" XT9/ABC switch, Then switch to FingerKB.... XT9 WORKS!!!!

Is it possible to make an optional link to turn on and off XT9? because although it works, I hate having to load the "Full Qwerty" all the time.

Sorry.... I know this has been requested muchly...

Remove Arrows??

Is there a way I can get rid of the arrows because in landscape mode, they're in the way
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sharkie405:
I believe in the first post there are cabs with or without arrows as dictated by the cab name. Perhaps in your excitement your downloaded the wrong one or didn't realize there were options?

So yes, to get rid of the arrows uninstall that one and install the right one. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bisis:
on-press

Is there any way to configure the keyboard to work on press and not on release of keys?

I think it would be nice if writing could work on press because it will prevent a lot of misstyiping!

Maybe if the key is pressed for 50msec it represents the normal key otherwise if more it represents the subkey... and so on as it can be configured just now.

Any help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Use swype ^^
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bisis:
yes swype is nice but when it's not possible to swype and you use manually the keyboard it's awful!

I like to have "a keyboard" which can work in on-press mode. I think the only one where I can ask this modification is just fingerkeyboard.

While using Norwegian layout in landscape mode, i cant press B and N, the buttons next to space.

Anyone know of a fix for this?

Hey guys.

I did a search but didn't find anything so here I go:

I have the Swedish ROM and since I got sick of the standard keyboard I installed FB 2.1.

xT9 works well in the sense that it completes the words I started to write, but unlike the standard keyboard it does not correct misspellings.

Example:

Standard keyboard: "Whst" -> "What"

Fingerkeyboard 2.1: "Whst" -> "Whst"

Did anyone else experience this?

(I'm running this on HD2)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerede2000:
I'm french and on my HD2 with the AZERTY keybord and XT9 enabled the layout is fine in AZERTY but the key write in QWERTY.

Complete restore of previous KB

Hi, I'm HD user, stock rom. After a short test, I decided to uninstall this KB and come back to the previous situation. But the "uninstall application" do not resolved complete and satisfactory the job : now the KB is some kind of rduced version of the ancient KB. Playing whith Settings and Tweaks and Advanced Config did'nt resolved anything. It can be the stock rom is corrupted ? any idea ?

can a key have 2 functions? for example change keyboards and activate/deactivate language input all with one press?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xttocx:
Winner!

The one thing that was totally bugging me after i bought my HTC Touch HD was that i couldn't for the damn life in me get used to that TINY Keyboard... this is a total brownload WINNER!!!!

Thanks! x
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Yes, you can map more than just one "funtion" to one key, but afaik FK can't change keyboards (only select to the phone keyboard) or what do you mean but this? And what is activate/deactivate language input?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tamago_quin:
sorry, keyboard was the wrong term. layout is better.

im on a japanese phone and i would love to have a button that:

ACTION:Ime, ACTION:Nextlayout

the comma doesnt work...

as of now i cannot update the label it always stays on english and i forget if im using jp input or english input.

i hope this makes a little more sense
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
It works in some other way. You will have to map some keys manually, but i do not know how to switch the language input. If you find out how to switch the input stuff, i can remap the layouts for you ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tamago_quin:
i think the only way to change language input is

ACTION.Ime

im looking for more info but everything is in japanese

Also is there a way to create a custom key board with macro keys? For example, a repeating piece of text paragraph, can be assigend to a key. Is there a way to customize the keyboard?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] optyqus:
This keyboard would be perfect if it had bigger fonts. The actual fonts are small, like the ones on most of the current keyboards ( except the latest EzInput, the only keyboard with big and clear fonts). It's not comfortable to use fingerkeyboard on the run, to many symbols put in a small space, too small keys and too small fonts... and it's a pitty, cause otherwise it's a great keyboard, with great response.

increase accuracy in typing

Hi

I've been using HD2's Default Keyboard and find it annoying with it's accuracy problem, but I have a idea that make it more accurate, but a little of typing speed sacrefice

my idea is dynamic button domain,like a dual layer keyboard, it means that when a letter on the soft keyboard is pressed, it's press domain expands so if the finger ( thumb most of the times ) moves a little to other sides, the letter does not change by that little move that is natural.

for example, when you want to press letter "D", you press it but because you pressed it by thumb, the thumb by a little move can go on to S, F, E, R or X that make the mistake. but with this idea, when "D" is pressed, it's activate domain area of "D" expands and by a little move of the thumb, no problem will be made.

please email me or PM me about this idea.

thanks

PS: I PMed you rozenthal, but I dunno that you recieved my messages or not. thanks again for your great keyboard.

Great keyboard!

Can a 5th font be defined, besides the normal, holed, selnormal and selhold.

If so , how can it be done? I want it for a special layout

thanx
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
In each layout file you can define the fonts you wanna use. If you wanna use the fonts being defined in the color scheme file, you can let this line untouched:

ResolutionBegin 480 800
LayoutBegin eng
DisplayName EN
Fill 0 0 480 399 CSCHEME.BgColor
Draw 0 0 480 2 border
Draw 0 202 480 62 Key8
Draw 0 269 480 62 Key7
[SIZE="3"][B]	FontNormal	normal
FontHold	hold
FontSelected	selected
FontSelectedHold	selhold[/B][/SIZE]

But you also should be able to define fonts and size for each layout by editing the marked lines. Try it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] deckoff:
yeah that is the first thing I tried

ResolutionBegin	480	800
LayoutBegin	act

DisplayName	act
Fill	0	0	480	399	CSCHEME.BgColor
Draw	0	0	480	2	border

[B]FontNormal	ffffff Tahoma 20 500[/B]

FontHold	hold
FontSelected	selected
FontSelectedHold	selhold

But for some strage reason it is not working

If I go with

FontNormal	[B]selhold	[/B]

FontHold	hold
FontSelected	selected
FontSelectedHold	selhold

it works just fine...

Am I declaring the code in a wrong way???

And another question - can I define another layout, besides digits layout, to be special - to be triggered only by an action, and not to appear in languages rollercoaster....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
I've played a little with this layouts. Hope, u like it :D

Just copy the both text files from the attached zip file into "\Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins" on your device.

layout request

would it be possible to move the directional keys to the top?i always mistap the home button when what i actually want to press is the space bar.also would it be possible to make the back button larger,again for the same reason,i seem to press the enter button most of the time.i wouldnt mind a smaller space button for that purpose.thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Try one of my skins ;) See link in the signature.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] boogiecornejo:
thanks man!i went thru the entire thread at varying intervals and stumbled upon one of your posts.sorry i didnt check on my inquiry sooner then i would have saved so much time sifting thru all the pages in this thread...sometimes the search function isnt really all that helpful when you have a thread as long as this one:-)

problem is i dont understand the language its written in so i cant follow instructions on how to install your skin.i cant wait to try it out though...

edit:woohoo!!!i got it to work by mere guessing on the instructions!!!this skin is wonderful!it would be perfect if only i could make the buttons a little larger and i could take away the pos1 and ende button so that the space and back keys could be larger:-)

edit2: now that ive used the skin for a few hours i have to admit that the directional keys(pos1 and ende) are quite practical.only thing is id rather have the space bar between these two buttons(i tend to press the ende key instead of the space key coz ive gotten used to having the space key in the middle bottom of the screen)right beneath the "v" button.ive tried looking at the skin files and at this point its really confusing for me.im sure given time ill be able to decipher it but at this time can someone teach me how to do that?

also how do i make all the buttons larger?do i just have to change certain skin settings or do i need to resize all the image files?

one last thing,how can i have a "peso" sign instead of the "euro"?(im from the philippines...)

Does anybody know if it's possible to add a send buttom in the keyboard. Because when you type a message in "inbox-all messages-message" I have to minimize FK and then send the message and then again maximize FK.

I've also got this "bug" which does the arrow left (home) - buttom useless. When I type a message and press arrow left, it displays the keyboard options. And if you didn't know, it's the buttom that lies behind the arrow left buttom, when FK is opened. How do I solve this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Set the bottom bar in the FK settings to "show bar"!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cir0w:
Thx :) then it's just my question about a new send buttom that remains:

Prompt please where the folder with languages is located ? In Program Files-FingerKeyb at me it is not present...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cir0w:
Edit (the question above stil remains):

Where do I find new skins (like BlackRed, but with other colors)?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Program Files is the program folder in english roms. If you have some other rom language, see the specific program folder (like Programme in the german rom ^^ )

The language files are stored in the \program files\FingerKeyb\Skins\.

It is not possible to make a send button. It's a way too complicated. Just let the bottom bar appear again, don't hide it, and you don't need to minimize the keyboard first to send the message.

Edit: You can use color schemes from my skins. The also usable with standard skins ;)

I wonder about that you're using the german layouts. There are actually also english layouts available. See the zip files containing english in the name.

You actually only need to see the youtube videos to be able to use the skins ;)

Sry, but i can't change all the skins for everyone wish. It's just to much of work. They're also a way complicated compared to the standard skins. In the FingerKeyb\Skins folder on your device you will find doc-about-skin-new.txt as a little help to understand how to make skins ;)

You can map all keys you want, just open the needed layout file and replace all €'s with peso ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cir0w:
Okay :P but where's your skins? You havn't got a own thread, so...

And what do you mean with that they also are usable with standard skins? Isn't it just a map that you add to the skins folder into the FK directory?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:

Just see the link in the signature :D Primary i'm making skins for german layouts, but now there are in english. Just see the youtube videos for how to install them. I'm kind of lazy to translate all the manual into english at the moment :eek:

There are many new graphic files, so you have also to use "my" color schemes ;) But there're also usable with layouts which already included in the Skins folder after installation FK installation :D

But I use a Swedish layout and charaters on my keyboard, does that work with your skins?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] deckoff:

Aanother string of questions, nut dont worry bout that, only of you know the question - SelectAll action does not work with HTC messaging(shift+BS does not work because of this, too), only with notes and Word.... Is it program specific, is it a bug...

amazing keyboard software. i will defently donate. one thing, the letter above the letter when pressing a char is not visible in opera
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ex-Inferis:
Firstly, thanks for this great keyboard; works so much better than Samsung's one!

I have a question, however. I've been trying to add a comma using the shortcut part of the config, but it doesn't show after I've saved. I've got it on key "J" and, although it works when I write a text, it's just not showing on the key. Worse, if I shift to uppercase, the "J" shrinks and moves up to the top of the key! I've resorted to just writing "com" (because "comma"'s far too long for the key!) and this seems to work, but it's just bugging me slightly! Is there a solution to this? I'm just using the standard English layout that comes with the cab.

Thanks in advance! :-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Not with my skins, but with the color schemes ;)

Sry, dunno why its not working. Seems, HTC making things not in the way they should. Since i'm not using thc messaging, i haven't searched for the solution. I you find something, plz report ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
If you wanna display a textcomma, you have to use this text string "TEXTcomma" instead of the "," because , is a separator in the skins.

So type on the left side TEXTcomma to display the "," and , on the right side in the shortcut tab in the FK options ;)

Edit: Or just try my skins :D see the signatur.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ex-Inferis:
