Is it possible to change the size of the area sensitive to pen input (Createpad)? - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

Hello,
i bought the windows version recently after reading about the device and the built in wacom hardware. I'm a weird guy and like my pen movemnt to not be 1:1 to the screen size though and i remember when i had a wacom bamboo you could map the tablet area in the wacom driver.
Is it possible to do something similiar with the createpad on this device? maybe by messing with the registry entries or something?
Cheers~

WinMo - Keyboard Layout Bigger?

Is there a way to make the keyboard layout in Window Mobile 6 bigger? I have switched the layout icon in the keyboard setting to large, but I need it bigger for finger typing. The screen size of the Shift is perfect to have a virtual keyboard working; it would cut down on the wear and tear of sliding the keyboard tray every time in slate mode.

You might like one of the many full screen keyboards which are available, check the forum search or google. If you've installed RealVGA, you'll need a VGA version of the keyboard.
I was wondering if the layout could be mod to make it bigger instead of installing third party software. I am currently trying out the Resco Keyboard Pro and it's a great software.

soft keyboard

I like to carry my Advantage on the leather cover without the keyboard, what help to keep it protected without making too much bulk on my pocket. I have tried many of the soft keyboards available and like very much Resco, Zoomboard and PocketCM. However I think the best layout is the one which have the keys on the 'smile' orientation which apparently none of them offer. I'm using SPB full keyboard because of that but don't like the fact it covers the all screen, it's more oriented for small screen than to the Advantage. Does anyone knows about a VGA skin on this shape? What everybody is using for soft keyboard?
I've tried many software keyboard. I always go back to Tengo 2.1. If you're not using 192dpi, it's good to also have Resco Keyboard in addition to Tengo 2.1.
At the moment I'm back to using my device in 192dpi again, after using it in 96dpi for many months. At this dpi, I like to completely do without the stylus. So I've redone my iLauncher to use the Thumb tab and have big icons throughout. Tengo 2.1 works very well for Thumb typing. There are only six big keys (or rather six areas of keys) to touch most of the time, so its really easy. Tengo's keyboard size is the same under all dpi. It does not invade your screen like some other soft keyboard, despite having one of the largest sized keys (or areas of keys).
One other important consideration is weather or not you need to input in other languages too. If you need to input in East Asian language, then your choices may be different again, just as example.
Thank you Eaglesteve, I will try Tengo. I'm using 192dpi also because on the move I need something that I can easy 'shot' the right key due to the large icons instead of 'aiming' perfectly on the bullseye. Many times walking and working with the Advantage, what a great machine!!

Be sure to go through the tutorial first.
If you're using it in 192 dpi, forget about Resco, because Tengo 2.1 has three different layout, one of which is the big sized standard keyboard, which is good for typing in software serial number, etc. The other two layouts are not suitable for such job.
The thing that you will like about this keyboard is that it is not necessary to type the specific key precisely although that would also work. The idea is to allow you to be very very imprecise and yet give you the correct words to choose from. Your finger need not travel all over the place when you type. Just touch the TYGHBN area.
If you need special and unique words, then go for the key precisely. What you type will appear on top right corner. Just choose that word instead of the proposed ones. Once you have used that unique word once, it automatically gets added to the dictionary so that you can use that word by typing imprecisely at the six area later on.
Enjoy.

Not sure if I understand what you're asking. If your question is what I think it is, then the answer is to use realVGA. Am I missing something?
I think that's what he's asking.

Japanese input?

Does anybody know of a Japanese IME for Windows Mobile that is similar to what "Simeji" does for Android? Something that works without accuracy... since HD2's capacitive screen can't select those little keys that most IMEs have.

[solved] on screen keyboard - consumer preview - trouble ?

I'm running windows 8 consumer preview through a dell st2220t touch screen monitor & I'm having trouble resizing the on screen keyboard.
To resize the keyboard you must change to thumb style keyboard then press and hold the button with 3 dots on it, this gives you small, medium & large.
The default appears to be large & takes up half the screen. The dell is a 21.5" wide screen so its massive blot on the landscape.
So the problem is that in standard resolution (1920*1080) I get no option for the thumb keyboard and there for no option to resize the keyboard. The only resolution that allows me to change to the thumb keyboard is (1024*768) but when I hold the button with three dots all the size options are grey out and unselectable.
At first I had managed to change the size but after messing with the dpi settings it changed back to large and is now stuck.
I've tried changing the dpi, graphics drivers (GeForce 285 & 295) even reinstalled windows (full reinstall with format) but had no luck.
Any one got any clues? its hard to find any useful info @ the moment with the Microsoft propaganda machine on full tilt and the eagerness of most websites to regurgitate any small rumour going.
Lots of reads but no replies
Even if you haven't got a touch screen, would be good if someone with a GeForce gfx card running in 1080p could call up the onscreen keyboard and see if you can change the keyboard size. Instructions in top post.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Turned out it was my trust pen tablet conflicting, doh!

Old thread, but if you create a key
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\scaling\MonitorSize with a value that equates to your screen size in inches you can override the default size. Windows tries to make the OSK the same size on all screens (so you can type with it, it'd be pretty annoying if the keys got massive on huge screens).

I think the bigger question here is why you would need an on screen keyboard on a 60" tv

I use Splashtop on my iPad to control my Windows 8 pc that's connected to my HDTV and I need the on screen keyboard to be large enough so I can type. If my TV is off when I turn on my PC it will be sized correctly on the iPad but when the TV is on it will be tiny.

How to enable stylus pointer in on-hover event?

I have Uggos X4Q tv box with Android 11 and Deco LW pen tablet connected by USB to it. When I move stylus over any menu items, I can see changes of this items (lighting), but no pointer cursor. Cursor visible only when I touch pen to tablet. In some apps I can configure displaying pointer when stylus in sensor range of tablet but not touching it (hover event, I think). But it work only inside app. How to change behavior of stylus pointer across OS? I would like to make stylus pointer behavior like classic mouse pointer. May be exist some OS settings to force it. I have a root rights in OS. Or may be exist easiest way to do this by writing app or driver for it? I mean, simple logic in selected API methods, etc.
Please, help.
