adjust in-app keyboard size

[Piping]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for this awesome project that enables me to customize the keyboard through windows.

Can you show me how to change the size of keyboard shown in app? The keys are clustered together and the labels are not completely visible.

There is currently no way to resize the keyboard. Might be something worth looking into in the future, though. (Maybe when odins updates the keyboard firmware)

@Piping if you are referring to the UI, then it is doable.
I am aware that the UI is clunky right now, but I do not have the time to redo it. If someone else is willing to do it, I can merge it and do a new build.

[Piping]

@kprinssu yeah, I am talking about UI. I never look at windows development and don't know C#. But if you can give me a start point on where the code should be updated, that will be very helpful.

[ethanmsmith]

@Piping I've found some free time, so I'm actually working on updating the ui at the moment. I've done some work, including enlarging the keyboard. You can see what I'm working on in my local repo

@ethanmsmith Thanks!!

[kprinssu]

@ethanmsmith please submit a PR, I'll merge the changes in.

[ethanmsmith]

Its not complete, yet. I had to move some things around and haven't got them fully up and running again. If I am going to put in the effort to separate views, I don't want to half ass the connection aspect.

The UI is complete, but it is not back to full functionality, then I have to test. Do you have any tests you run builds against?

[kprinssu]

There aren't any automated tests and builds.

[ethanmsmith]

Ok. Good to know

Any idea why the light setting would only work on the first 7 keys off the KB? only escape through 7 are lighting up when i sync the profiles.

[kprinssu]

It's a bug that @ethanmsmith fixed. The fix is not added to the current release.

I am intending to do a new build later this week/early next week.

Github rookie here (which I why I post here):
Is it possible to choose "no color"/transparent for the keycaps in this app?

PS: Really love the work here! 👍

[ethanmsmith]

What do you mean? Do you mean no lighting on a specific key/keys?
If so, I don't actually recall. My gut says if you set it to black it might... But I don't think there is anything that allows off backlighting

[kprinssu]

@ethanmsmith I have pushed a new release containing your changes.
@LMayne1 please give 1.0.4 a try.
@bravobavo setting the colour to black should turn off the backlight.

I was thinking the same thing when turning on black. And yes, turning off backlight on spesific keys was what I meant :=) However, lately I think an issue has occured: when I set the buttons to black rgb(0,0,0), they always have this tint of the color that is currently selected (for example dark purple instead of black). First I thought this was because of the lighting spread from other buttons who were purple, but later, after changing everything to black it still was dark purple (or dark green if green was the selected color on the cirle picker). I do not recall having this problem before when testing, but maybe it is an issue, just wanted to bring it up ;)
