As a follow-up post to the Demo build of Enlightenment 17, I have made a new keyboard layout specifically designed for the Archos 5/7’s screen resolution. I have also addressed a few troubling issues in regards to the illume kbd itself.
List of improvements:
- The dimensions are now 800×220 so there is more viewing area above the keyboard.
- Decreased the size of the keys a touch (not a problem since the interpretive skills of illumes kbd are amazing), and increased the font size on the keys themselves
- Moved the placement/size of the “popup” keys (when a key is initially pressed –the popup display that grows from the current key pressed) to compensate for the new container size.
- Moved some bottom row buttons around to center the space-bar for easier use with both thumbs.
- Removed the “Terminal” kbd layout, since it is no longer compatible with the new 800×220 container.
- Added a keyboard icon to the top shelf (replacing the “qwerty” text).
Some Screenshots:

Since I had to recode the illume bits to make changes to the top shelf and the letter sizing/placement, it is necessary to download the new beta version, as opposed to just releasing a .kbd file. Props go out to raster from #e for some advice on edje

**note: I’ll be updating the parent post with the new beta2 build as well.
Note::
[ If you wish to run this along side your current build, rename image to "illume.img" and make the appropriate entry in "menu.lst" Otherwise just overwrite your "rootfs.img" and your good to go.]
As always, input and suggestions are welcome.
