Disabling Touchscreen Icons
« on: May 28, 2006, 05:42:50 pm »
Now that the touchscreen icons (is that the correct name?) are working in 3.4.1 on my Akita, I've noticed how annoying they are when you are maninpulating scrollbars when in landscape mode .

Is there any easy way to turn them on and off? Maybe they could be switched on in portrait mode and off again in landscape mode (you can use the keyboard instead).

Or am I just clumsy?

That's a good idea. I found myself touching them accidantly as well. If there's not a compelling reason to use them in landscape we should probably turn them off.

Good idea indeed  
I'll have a look how to go about that.

That would require changes to keylaunch and by the looks of it no one has any great motivation to hack it
