Title: keyboard for touch screen ?
Post by: tteettuk on January 29, 2009, 02:18:20 pm

can you get a virtual keyboard for a touch screen ? I have tried the windows one but its a bit small ? I downloaded a free trial of one and it looks good but you have to buy it !
can you customise the free one in windows ? change colour/make bigger thanks

Try changing the DPI in the windows settings - it may screw up the fonts in the jukebox app tho since most software ignores it and draws fonts in points sizes but draws the elements in pixels so things start to be messed up.

Worth a shot tho since if it does the job it will be easy.

Sadly if the jukebox app pays attention to the DPI then there isnt much you can do about it.

Possibly lowering the display resolution might make things bigger again, but that has other problems with everything getting bigger.

You can try Click-N-Type at http://www.lakefolks.org/cnt/ (http://www.lakefolks.org/cnt/).
It seems to be working OK. It's freeware and the buttons can be resized to be useable on a touchscreen.
