First off, thank you for this wonderful program! Honestly, ATI85 is like a gift from the heavens! It has a great interface, and great functionality. I love the start up and shut down speed of this app, and the state saving. All apps should be like this!

I have a suggestion:
It would be nice if the buttons on the face of the calculator were larger than the their graphical representation. This would make it far easier to hit the buttons with a finger or stylus without taking away any functionality, or changing the interface in any way.

The reason for my suggestion, is that I can use the calc with the finger quickly right now, but must peck slowly as to ensure that I actually pressed the key. Often time, I hear a click denoting that I pressed the screen, but no key was registered. I have found that in those instances my registered click was somewhere between the keys.

I have attached an image to illustrate what I mean about larger buttons. The red-shaded key is what I assume the skin is like now; the clickable area is closely matched to the graphical key. The green-shaded keys, on the other hand, have larger clickable areas than the graphical buttons, and as such are easier to press.

Is this something that I can help with? This would mark my first contribution to open source, and I'd gladly do it.


YARR!
