I have recently upgraded my Fujistsu Stylistics 5010 (MUI spanish version) to
the windows tablet pc edition 2005 with SP2.
I have noticed that the tablet input panel keyboard now has changed its
colors to white over blue, and also, adding more keys, the size of them is
smaller. Having some vision problems, I prefer the old black over white
keyboard color, but I haven't found any way to change it. Is it not possible
yet to change the color and the keys size of the keyboard?
Also I have a problem with undock the tip: it is only possible to dock it at
the top or at the bottom of the screen, but not to move freely as before it
was. Trying the undock option at tools icon, the tip dissapears and, after
reopened, it still is docked at the top or at the bottom (where it was choose
before trying the undock item).
Yours sincerely,
Jaume

Jaume, you may try some of the options available in Control
Panel/Accessibility Options/Display tab/High Contrast area/Settings button.
There are a lot of settings available for High Contrast.

As for the Dock and Undock problem you're seeing, Undock only works if you
set the Option on the Tablet Input Panel to Undock and do not open the TIP
from the Taskbar. You will see a "floating" icon - TIP Access - on screen
when the cursor is in a text input area which you need to tap with your pen
to open the TIP. The TIP will then be in Undock position on the screen, and
if you see the little ::: bumps in the lower-right corner, you can drag the
TIP anywhere on your screen.

Opening the TIP from the Taskbar icon reverts the TIP back to Dock (top or
bottom).

Hi Chris H,
Thanks you very much for your response to my questions.
I still haven't be able to change the colors (white over blue) of the tip
keyboard.
In regards of the moving the floating tip, that I wasn't able to do, I have
discovered, after seeing the tutorial, that it is possible if you place the
cursor at the right wall of the window, not at the top of the window as it
is the usual way in all the other windows applications and jobs I work with
(some change in the windows standars here?).
Yours sincerely,
jaume

Jaume, try right-clicking a blank spot on the desktop, then selecting
Properties. Go to the Appearance tab and look for the Windows and buttons
setting. I believe if you'll select Windows Classic style from the
drop-down menu, this may help you get the keyboard changed. Sorry I didn't
remember this earlier.

I think this observation may explain the problem I'm seeing in the "input
panel problems" thread, described also at
http://www.segal.org/java/tablet_events/. Fiddling with the pen over the
right part of the TextField seems to fix the problem. I wonder if I
experienced this problem because I am left-handed and didn't tend to cross
the right edge of the TextField?

I modified the applet at http://www.segal.org/java/tablet_events/ to make
the TextField very long and I can't reproduce the right-edge effect now.
Also, changing the Handedness setting in Tablet and Pen Settings does not
appear to abolish the problem.

Mickey, it just might be the positioning, although I'm no way a programmer.
However, being right-handed (we have one of three daughters who is
left-handed, too) I always tap the beginning of any text-specific input
area. That would mean (and I've tried it many times) that I'm actually
entering the field(s) on the lower-left edge.
