Importing Keyboard Graphics

The default keyboard draws the keys on the computer screen. However, you can import a graphic to be displayed instead of the created keys. An imported graphic will be embedded in the .KB and .KBB files, so you will not need to save the imported graphic file on the device separately.

When you import a graphic to use as a key or set of keys, you will still need to create and position key values. Use the slider bar to change how dark the graphic and keys are while editing so that you can size and position the keys correctly.

Be sure to label the buttons you create. If the mobile device is unable to display the bitmap image, the labels will still appear.

To import a graphic:

1  In the Keyboard Creator, click Import.

2  Navigate to the location of the bitmap image you want to import.

3  Click Open.

4  Click the Size Keyboard to Graphic button to make the keyboard the same size as the imported graphic.

5  Use the slider bar to adjust the how dark and how light the graphics and buttons appear when editing.
