Nobody needs it?! I need it, that's for sure. And since Faheem's been maintaining a fork/patchset/whatever, and apparently is including this, it'll probably stay awesome into Fremantle and Mer with no further maintenance from you. I'm practically doing somersaults here! :D:D:D:D

In addition to the sshers and hackers, I also expect Addison (and any other rogue-like players) will be enthused. Thanks!

Re: osso-xterm w/ overlayed transparent keyboard
 
It looks like running this should be straightforward, but for some reason this isn't working for me.

From /home/user:
~ $ ls .osso-xterm/
tkbd.lay tkbd.png
~ $ ./osso-xterm

This will bring up a new terminal (which has the same header information as the original keyboard: Busybox v1.6.1 (2008009-18 ...)), but there is no overlayed keyboard. Am I missing something?

Two things:
- I have also sound support in my changes but it was commented out. The current executable on my website has it enabled. Not the sources though but it's just a matter of commenting in 3 function defs and a fn call. Pls tell me if you cant' figure it out.
- From your nice snapshots it looks like the transparency could be a little bit more.
I've posted on my website another tkbd.png file which is more transparent. Could you pls give it a try. (I mostly tested on white background, on black it seems a diff story)

Thanks,
Daniel

I'll recompile with sound in a minute, haven't tried out the sound function yet :)

As for your second point, tried your second image and it works very well, thanks!

Yay, recompiled with sound support. Works beautifully, thanks :)

BTW, I don't wish to sound like a prick but using "#if 0" and "#endif" to comment out a huge chunk of code works easier for people who want to uncomment it :)

Re: osso-xterm w/ overlayed transparent keyboard
 
With all due respect :) when I do stuff I do it mostly for me (selfish...)
And for me, the line commenting is visually telling me that code is commented out.
A '#if 0' 100 lines above isn't helping me much.
Just a matter of style.

And BTW, uncommenting those lines is really easy with vim ;)

Strange, did you try to toggle the virt keyb from the menu ? Still doesn't show up ?
Do you have the full files in ~/.osso-xterm ? Do they have the correct permissions ?

Aha; there was no virt keyb in the menu.
For some reason, it looks as if./osso-xterm wasn't running the binary in my home directory. I copied it to /usr/bin, and now it works fine.

Thanks!

Re: osso-xterm w/ overlayed transparent keyboard
 
Yeah, Benson got it right!

I'm very excited about this!

Of course it would be nice to actually have a numpad featured with this but the layout is great and won't take much in getting used to the design.

Thank you very much! :D

Any chance you guys could share the updated version, please???? :-)
I can't get the one posted at dnastase's site to run.

Sorry, I am certainly doing something stupid, but I downloaded your osso-xterm and cannot install it. I'm getting this:
Code:


[root@Nokia ~]# dpkg -i /media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb
dpkg-deb: `/media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing /media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb (--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /media/mmc2/installs/osso-xterm.deb

And: how do people install this in ~/.osso-xterm? Is that the default?

Thanks!!!
