It's alive, it's alive!!! mwahaha! - WinButtons and 7" touchscreen works
nudone:
It is a shame about the terrible colours on the MIMO, I too don't care too much about things like that - if they are slight - but not being able to produce anything close to red is enough to say MIMO screens are simply defective. It does restrict a lot of possibilities when trying to be clever and make colour coded buttons. But what can we do other than to return the screens to Amazon.
The more important question is whether other touchscreen models have the same limitation, and if not I'd like to know which they are - then this MIMO would be sent straight back and labelled unfit for purpose. That's not going to happen though is it.
As for WinButtons, it would be great to have an easier way to set the buttons up but I'm still amazed by how it's possible even now.
There's still lots of experimentation to regarding the "right" number of buttons to use. I think I'll be changing my mind on that one for a good while yet.
P.s.
I am creating the button layouts whilst the template is on the MIMO, I just haven't spent a lot of time with the colours.
This is probably impossible to do, Ath: could the editor be made so that the colours can be updated live with a slider control (or windows colour dialog panel); something that would let you see the colours change whilst the template is is on the MIMO. If not I think I will try creating a mock-up of the buttons in Photoshop first.

Forgot to say, thanks for the tip about the key commands. I've done it the long hand version as the shorter things I tried didn't work - but I'll try it again and let you know what happens.

I'll see what I can do, don't know if the color selection dialog has some kind of callback capability that I can hook into. Putting up a slider control would probably mean I have to create a custom color selection dialog, what I'd like to avoid :huh:
Workaround for now could be to (also) drag the color selection dialog to the MIMO 8)

That's because of the Command separation character being a '^' by default
Ath:
with the colours

I kinda love it how we keep mixing the use of the US and UK version of color and colour ;D
