there's no way to get it back, except for removing
SP2 from your machine.

What did you liked better with the old on-screen keyboard?

Felix, with XP SP2, you've now also received the Tablet PC Edition 2005,
which is much improved over the old version. Better recognition, there's a
floating TIP Access icon when you have the Tablet Input Panel in Undock
mode, and there are additional features available within the TIP Options.
Take a look at my web site tutorials for further information.

You can try to do file/run and type in OSK

This will give you a different resizable onscreen keyboard if you preferred
something "floating" like there used to be prior to the updates to the newer
tablet pieces in SP2.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for replying (and the others too).

The old style gave a better appearance, 3d type effect, and the key size was
better for quick onscreen tapping/typing. The new one has a smaller
presentation and the dark effect makes quick typing awkward. Even changing
the key colour to the original light effect would be an improvement!

but it's not the same on-screen keyboard as in the previous
version, is it?

Wasn't trying to imply it was - just that it's an on screen keyboard that can
be used now that the TIP is changed for 2005.

Felix, if you want to change the Tablet Input Panel keyboard appearance to
resemble the original, you can right-click your desktop, select Properties
and then go to the Appearance tab. In the Windows and buttons: drop-down
menu, select Windows Classic style.

This will give you the old black-on-white keyboard appearance. You can also
adjust the keyboard colors if you wish to continue using the Windows XP
style by simply changing the Color scheme on the same tab.

Hi Chris,

Tried that and yes the format changes but the keyboard is still the flat
style presented with SP2, not the smart (my opinion) 3d style that was used
before.
Spose as a lot of things it has been changed and whether you liked the
original or not this is what you have now.....

That would be correct, Felix. Certain things did change, but I believe
overall the TIP is improved - especially the recognition.
