How do I set up the onscreen buttons?
DIR By: AndyWear

So.....I bought the Pro version and it kind of pushed
everything to one side of the screen.
When I tried to uninstall, move everything back, restart, it
went back to the side again. Now my radial menu has to be re
adjusted everything i log on. :(
So far I only see the mouse on screen? Not sure if I would wanna
use a mouse on screen when I already have touch screen.
My main problem. How do I even use the keyboard touch screen?
I cant find it anywhere in the program. All I see are mouse
settings.

Hi AndyWear,
It sounds like you may be using v1. Can you shoot me an email at
Justice(a)tabletpro.net and I'll make sure you have the newest
beta. It is pretty self explanatory with the new version.
Thanks!
Justice

I installed the 2.0 version and been playing with it.
In the button editor,
Trying to move the icon around is very unresponsive so it took
me awhile to set up buttons.
Anyhow when I finished it, I went back to modify my button by
trying to open up my saved ini, but it won't load up. SO I
can't seem to edit that right now. Is there a way to edit your
own layout instead of the preset?
How do I reduce the size of the layout's background? The black
part.
Change button name section. It should Auto center as you type.
Oh yeah an undo and redo in the editor would be nice too : )
----
Essentially button holding down of shift, CTRL and ALT are my
only problem. Its hard to select, mask and navigate like I
could on an actual keyboard. Button pressing is just fine.

I might be able to help a little with this as it sounds like you
have the same issues I did.
Editing/creating a layout is pretty unresponsive for me too, had
to just keep finding that sweet spot or entering numeric values
over on the left.
As for loading a .ini, I assume you're trying to load an artpad
of sorts? From what I can tell you can really only alter the
defaults that are in that dropdown list (Float, Artist pad ,
Artist pad - medium, etc). So when you go to Settings > Artist
Pad Mode there's a "Layout of artist pad" with a drop down menu,
change it to whatever you'd modified. (Default, Medium, Small)
Of course, if you didn't modify any of the Artist Pad layouts,
then I'm not actually too sure! I wouldn't mind getting a brief
explanation of what's happening behind the scenes here because
from a users perspective it seems rather unintuitive.
On the topic of reducing the size of the layouts background, I'm
actually on this issue at the moment, but I believe the problem
is the layout you're editing is a "docked" one that basically
takes up a whole column of your screen. My next test when I get
some time will be to alter one of the artist pad presets that
appears to be floating in the preview.
Oh, and for things like holding Alt, Ctrl, yeah I noticed that
too. It would work sort of fine with "Space"... bit of a delay
compared to an actual keyboard, but it worked as intended in
that I'd hold down space to pan around, and release it to turn
back to my previous tool. But for some reason Alt required a
toggle press, maybe such settings can be changed in the layout
editor, I haven't had too much of a chance to get into it again
today.

Little bit of a follow up question after some more tinkering.
When editing a layout, we can only modify the presets, is that
correct?
I can't seem to find a way to modify or even remove the black
background that the buttons sit on. This becomes a problem
pretty swiftly when doing any editing outside of just changing
what the buttons do. Am I missing something here?

Hi AndyWear,
In the button editor,
Trying to move the icon around is very unresponsive so it took
me awhile to set up buttons.
For the unresponsive part try moving the whole area you are
editing to the right. I believe that some of the UI actually
blocks the touch manipulation you are using to edit and move the
buttons. Further to the right is better.
Anyhow when I finished it, I went back to modify my button by
trying to open up my saved ini, but it won't load up. SO I
can't seem to edit that right now. Is there a way to edit your
own layout instead of the preset?
I believe that Gary is on to something. Check to make sure that
the artist pad layout you modified is the correct size as the
one you are trying to load. Sometimes we edit a "default size"
artist pad and we are set to load a medium one outside the
editor. They are independent.
How do I reduce the size of the layout's background? The black
part.
Just for clarity sake, which layout are you editing? (artistpad,
float, fullscreen, left) In many of those modes you can't remove
the black background.
Change button name section. It should Auto center as you type.
I agree
Oh yeah an undo and redo in the editor would be nice too : )
True true, good suggestion I'm told this can be a really big
overhaul if the software wasn't built for it from the ground up.
I'll mention it to Takashi. Thanks AndyWear!

Hi,
I pretty much did what Gary did last nite before bed and it
worked. I noticed it right before bed that it was saved from
one of the defaults. I also saved an ini on my desktop that I
kept trying to load, not sure if thats necessary?
I'm only messing around with the Art Pad because its the only
one I really care about at the moment. Until I master using
this, I'll play with the others too! :)
Soooo the background I'm talking about is from the artist pad.
I think it take up too much screen estate for me and having that
resizing ability would be very useful.
I think i'll compile a more organized list of things when I get
more familiar with this pad.
Once again. ALT, SHIFT, CTRL! ALT+CTRL etc. Most important
to me right now. Without it I feel lost. :)

Andy, I think I've solved the issue of Ctrl, Alt and Shift
acting as toggles! Not sure why Justice hasn't mentioned it yet
(unless he's doing this via email)
But, if you load up your settings page (not the layout editor)
and go to the artist pad area there is actually a simple
checkbox for "Disable toggle ctrl,shift,alt". Seems to work fine
for me.
Now, I still haven't worked out how to modify/remove the
background that the buttons sit on. Justice, any insights to
this? Can it even be done yet?
Edit
Ah I see you've stated that a lot of the modes don't have a
modifiable background. Which ones do? I can understand the logic
behind putting these buttons in a container, for
moving/minimising. But not being able to modify it (or it
modifying itself based on the buttons you're adding) is a pretty
major bummer. Is this something you'll be working on in the
future do you think?

Hi Gary,
Thank you for replying to Andy. :) that helps a ton.
The resizing of the background is a feature that we want to add.
Hopefully it will be included when we revamp the Tablet Pro
layout editor. I personally would really like being able to
adjust it to my liking. :)
Float mode lets you dynamically resize the float window as well
as adjust opacity. So do the other side modes. But as far as
placing buttons in a scalable container we don't have that yet.
Thanks Gary!

Lock, or to be able to remove the moving toggle of the menu
would be nice too.
I keep accidently moving it around it around.
