Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

I have a working example for the number keypad finally. You touch a number field it pops up and shows the number as you type and when you press the save button it puts that number into the field and goes away.

Gscreen (actually gladVCP) has a pop up calculator that doubles as a entry widget.
If using a mouse you double click the entry widget if using a touch screen (with the cusor hidden) touch it once.

I didn't build a keyboard widget but I beleive Ubuntu 12.04 has a 'ghosted' keyboard for touch screens built in.
I remember seeing this but have never inverstigated it.

Yes that MACH screen is not for me either, It's the reason I won't bother making it fully functional.
It was the concept of widgets over image that I was interested in. I'm not an artists but if someone comes up with a nice design I will atempt to make it fully functional.

How did you position the widgets?

I use 'fixed window' on top of the toplevel window.

This is why you can't resize the screen without the widgets being in the wrong place.

To make this easier I might try building a custom wodget that allows one to load an image on it.
Then I,d have to play with the fixed window widget so the image showed thru....

It seems 'onboard' is a on-screen keyboard available in 10.04 possibly event default - I didn't add it but its there.

it is even embeddable into gladeVCP it seems....

I added a DRO widget to master so building DROs on a gladevcp panel or custom Gscreen skin is easier.
