Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard
on: August 10, 2003, 01:18:27 am
My wireless keyboard batteries just ran out, so I'm using the on-screen keyboard to post this (actually, I was until I realized that I had a perfectly good server with a wired keyboard sitting next to my main computer... :p).

Anyway, initially I loaded up the on-screen keyboard (start > progs > accessories > accessability in Win2k), and was surprised to see the 3d look of the buttons of years past replaced with a flatter, more functional version. And since I could have sworn that I had seen the 3d version pre-SP3, I was wondeirng if anyone with Win2k and SP1 or 2 could tell me what on-screen keyboard they have - 3d or flat?

Just curious...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

This is what I get:



It looks like crap.

(Oh and I love the hint that pops up when you start this thing saying it's for "mobility-impaired" users. I'm using a desktop PC, does that mean I'm "mobility-impaired" too?)

Yeah, that's the 2D one, same as in my Windows 2000 (sans annoying Fisher-Price border). IIRC the 3D one I remember looked like every key on the keyboard was a dialog box button from the Windows 3.1 era... :shudder:

I normally prefer the Silver one myself but this one suits my current wallpaper and the 'Windows Classic' theme looks like ****. Plus I can't be bothered hunting out new skins because the vast majority of them look like **** too.

We now have proof that MS isn't as hypocritical as they seem! At least they use MS Paint to make their GUIs! ;)
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
