Hello. I'm daltonic and the blinking cursor ( |) has a light blue color that is almost invisible to me. You can see the cursor here on the search of xda, for instance.
Is there any way to change the color of the cursor? This makes any text input program (like audionote) almost impossible to use.
Is there any way to change the color or style of the MOUSE pointer (not the trackpad)
I searched and could not find an answer, but is there any way to change the color or the style of the MOUSE pointer (not the trackpad pointer)?
Black is a difficult color to see for many situations and with my bluetooth mouse, it's even harder to find the pointer since the bluetooth lags a tad bit.

I have tried a number of soft keyboards - SpbKeyboard, FingerKeyboard2, PCM Keyboard, as potential replacements for the hardware keyboard, or even the soft keyboard that comes with the device. I have two issues with them all, and I wonder if others in this forum share this view or have a way round the issues:
The fact that none of them has readily accessible arrow buttons makes them clumsy. If I need to move the cursor to a particular position, in many cases, I would have to use the stylus; this defeats the purpose. If the x7510 had a joystick it would not be a problem, but it doesn't. FingerKeyboard2 does have arrows, but you would have to press two other keys to bring up the arrow keys.
The second issue is related to the first: When filling a form on the screen, the keyboards often cover the entry fields. Because there are no readily accessible arrow keys, I often have to set aside the soft keyboard for either the hardware keyboard or the stock keyboard.
Any ideas on how to get round these issues, or is there a soft keyboard that addresses them?
I can highly recommend TouchPal from Cootek
Its word completion is second to none (but needs a little learning!) and it has access to arrow keys via the navigation screen (there are screens for alpha, numeric, special and navigation all selectable from a row of icons)
It doesn't always move the underlying screen up so you can see what you are typing, but is better than Fingertouch, and at least you have all the navi and editing keys to hand.
Currently costs $9.75 using the promo code SPM2TP
I have used Resco Keyboard until now because the keys are so large that even my large fingers can cope easily. However I sorely miss having arrowkeys, punctuation (comma and period) and also ctrl on the top screen, so when I want to write quickly I often end up with the extremely tiny and sucky standard wm keyboard which is kind of ironic when I installed the other keyboard for ease of use. So right now I'm looking for a better alternative.
As above- TouchPal has a screen dedicated to navigation and text management, so although it doesn't have a Ctrl key, it does have buttons for Cut/Copy/Paste etc and it has common punctuation on the main keyboard screen.
I always find it annoying when the soft keyboard covers the screen in browsers, especially when I'm using the hardware keyboard. Is there a way to disable the software keyboard from popping up unless requested?
Is there a way to map a button (prefer the PPT button) so that when you push it, the onscreen keyboard appears?
Thanks!
Not too sure ...
AFAIK, the keyboard can only popup when the OS recognises you are in an environment where text input is allowed by the foreground application.
If that is the case, then a crude way of doing this would be to write a mortscript to "click" the screen at the coordinates where the keyboard icon is. This script could then be linked to one of the many keyboard mappers available (Have a look at AE Button Plus at http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). This is crude however - I realise the position of the keyboard icon can vary from the middle to the rhs of the screen depending on application.
Why not just use the real keyboard ?

The reason is that I'm trying to get Windows 95 to run on my Fuze - and I got everything working except that I need to hit the F12 key. For that I installed VGA_Keyboard which has that - but the issue I'm having is figuring out how to get the keyboard to popup so I can actually hit the damn F12 key...hahaha...so close.....yet so far away...grrrrr
W95? Wow, that's interesting!
Sounds like the keyboard will be a w95 thing rather than a ppc thing? If so, is it not a w95 soft keyboard you need? Anyway, sorry, don't think I can help :-(
I like the functionality of the standard mouse pointer for the keyboard dock (the circle) except for the reverse swiping. I get that it's supposed to be how your finger interacts with the screen but I want it to swipe down when I do. Is there any way to change that?
Also if possible (and less important really) can I change the icon to the standard mouse pointer? I don't want to change the functionality which is what the ASUS Customized Settings does, I just want the icon to be different.
Thanks for any input!
Hey everyone,
After the most recent firmware update (a few days ago) I've noticed that when I'm using the keyboard dock and the ASUS Greek Keyboard selection, I can no longer get accent marks over vowels. Used to you could press the semicolon key and it would type the accent mark and highlight it, then when you typed a vowel, the accent mark would be put over the vowel. It no longer does this though, just puts in an accent mark like a thin apostrophe. The diaeresis accent (two small dots) still works normally though when doing SHIFT+semicolon.
Any ideas? I can use the accents fine with the on screen keyboard, but I'd rather use the dock like I'd been doing.

There is some issue with Asus keyboard and the keyboard doc, can you switch to use Android keyboard to see if your problem resolved?
Hello, is there a way to change the side which the reduced window for one-handed mode is? I can resize it no problem but cannot seem to change the side. Thanks!
If it hasn't changed in Android Q you can place it freely by dragging the white top bar in one-handed mode to the side
Thank you. Turns out in Pie you have to long-press the white bar until the yellow frame appears, then you can drag it around.
