With RipBoard, it is a shame the way the characters on the keys overwrite the dividing lines above them when you start the keyboard in landscape mode (this doesn't happen if you switch orientation from portrait mode) - thinking about it, if the keys were a pixel higher would that be avoided (and is that something that is customisable?).

Can't adjust the height of the keyboard itself with the current version of RipBoard. With the standard layout, they overlap because RipBoard tries to center the letters on a key that is too small (because RipBoard has compressed the keys vertically and stretched them horizontally) to accomodate them. And that's why I whipped up the landscape kbd!

I think I'll move the D-keys to the right and stack them like they are on a desktop keyboard, move the ` key and the Jump (switch keyboards) key under Enter, and place some mathematics functions next to the number keys.... oh, the fun!

Hmmm... I have to look at the project status on SourceForge.
