Hi all,
I've released a transparent on screen keyboard that is both skinnable and can use VDJScript.
http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/15940/osk.html
A basic readme is installed to the plugin folder (Others) too.
Very useful for touchscreen users :)
A default keyboard skin was designed by djdad, so a huge thanks to him!

Wow, nice.. what about a browser skin with the keyboard for a request kiosk for karaoke or music.
A customer could select on a separate monitor or network teminal, then cut and paste in your browser, that would be a great addition...

There is already such a skin http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/12938/JUKEBOX.html
The Plugin (OSK) can be easily implemented. Al u need is to ad a button with the action to activate the OSK or edit one you dont need.

Loving this plugin, finally i can lose the keyboard from the DJ area..
But im just wondering, is there any way of forcing the keyboard into lowercase mode when you launch it?
I need to keep closing the keyboard and opening it to see the whole of the screen...

I f not mistaken the default loaded page of the xml file is the id=0 (which is the Caps page). If you wish to change that, you will need to edit the xml file (in VirtualDJ\Plugins\Others). You will need to change the lines with the id=0 to 1 and vice versa, but you also need to change other things too. Study the xml file a bit. It s similar to a skin xml file.
As for your second Q, you lost me here.. Do yo mean thats its too big to fit to your screen ? If that is the case, then you will have to resize the bmp file (or make your own) and edit the xml file as well. The default xml has 20% transparency, so you might need to increase that a bit if you wish to see the results under that.

ye the keyboard does appear quite big, maybe a resize option in future releases would help?? :)

The size is dictated by the skin at present as dynamic re-sizing isn't currently supported. It might be something I could look to add in the future though.
As for your other request I can add a VDJScript command to let you specify a page on opening.

thanks SBDJ and djdad
this is awesome!
I made a button for my skin, and it works perfect. Was waiting for a keyboard for years, I couldn't imagine it was as cool as it is now..

Can I turn off the capslock on start-up. It's always on when I start the keyboard.

Little problem, when you resize it to the minimum you can't resize it back. only the width can be changed.
this is minimum size
is it in the regestry? can't find osk threre...

I had no problem with that, although when resized to a tiny size it's hard to grab the resize areas.
Perhaps I might add a minimum resize limit.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SBDJ\OSK\sbosk
Delete (or change) the w and h keys :)

about the resize issue, would a pinch to zoom help in this case?? especially as virtualdj is now more multi-touch friendly?
(also, if you accidentally make the OSK too small, would your handy USB mouse be able to help you out of this little pickle for a moment??)
Also, after using this for a few gigs now, sometimes its difficult to move the OSK in a hurry as my touch panel wont hit the exact same location every time (just more of an approx point) my question is could we have a long click to move the OSK?? (though long click/press would bring up right mouse button normally i dont know if this would work for my idea)

Hi,
Finnished my keyboard but I don't know how to save it in the folder "other". can I change the name "sbosk" and do I have to rename all 3 files.
Now I have deleted the original skin files and used the original names (only the name in the xml is djjb).
So I have 3 files:
sbosk.exe
sbosk.xml
sbosk.bmp
In the xml the name is djjb
As shortcut I use "set '$osk_id' djjb & set '$osk' 1"
Ps: Can I upload this to the website?

set '$osk_id' djjb & set '$osk' 1
The osk_id is numeric only (it is all VDJ supports) so relates to sbosk1.exe, sbosk2.exe etc.
As you are using sbosk.exe/xml/bmp then you can just use set '$osk' 1

Put your xml and bmp files along with some instructions into a zip file and upload it to the Tools sections.
