A Better Keyboard?

(1/4) > >>

GuitarRocker2562:
I love rockbox, but I can't stand the keyboard (I am using an iPod by the way). Is there any other keyboards to use that aren't so small?

GodEater:
I could have sworn we had better documentation on this feature than this :

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VKeyboardSamples

But that's all I've turned up. So, in short, you  can design your own keyboard layout - but with that amount of documentation, it might take you a little trial and error to get it right.

As for it being "small", well that's a function of the font size it uses - and at this time I can find only one way to change it - which is to recompile rockbox to use a larger sized one.

GodEater, this is probably what you were looking for...

GuitarRocker, you can use any keyboard layout you like by defining your own. See the above link ;)

As for size, it will always use your selected UI font, so just pick a bigger one ;D

GodEater:
Ah yes - that's the page I remember seeing before!

We should probably put this in the manual at some point too...

Bascule, do you mean that the keyboard uses the fontsize used in the kdb file?  Or does one select it somewhere else (and where)?  Like the OP, the minitype used in the default keyboard can be a challenge.  Thanks--
