Updated On-Screen Keyboard

An updated version (1.1a) of Keith Davidson's great On-Screen keyboard has been placed on his website (http://www.keithandgina.com/audrey/).

Below is the readme...

Introduction
------------
First of all I want to thank Keith Davidson (www.keithandgina.com/audrey/)
for originating the port of the Keyboard that this mod was based on.
The second is James Mazrimas (www.timemocksme.com/audrey/) I used his code
as a learning base for reference on several things I wanted to accomplish.
I also used the beep code to actually generate the keyclick... Jim's ACID
Caller ID application is the only reason my wife has let me populate our
house with Audrey's. She LOVE's it and I get toys to play with
(Best of both worlds)!!!!!

On to what I did.....
The basic goal I had was to provide some audible/visual feedback when a key was
pressed. I did this 2 ways.
1. I changed the look of the keyboard to better delineate where the keys are.
I did this by changing the background of the keypad to a darker gray. I find
this makes it easier for my tired old eyes to find the keys.
2. I changed the keypress to darken the keys when a key is pressed. This makes
it easier to tell when a key is pressed. It really becomes apparent that
the shift key is pressed for example..
3. I added an optional click sound (see options below). Thanks Jim for the beep
code.
4. Added a mute sound button (looks like a speaker).

In keeping with the original author's spirit, I dedicate this program to the
victims and survivors of the tragic terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
"One nation under GOD"!!!!!!

Downloaded the file and installed. It works great. Love the changes.
I could not find the .wav files. Can you give me a location to download them from?

The sound files should alread exist in the /kojak/snd directory. At bootup the Audrey copy's them from this directory to the /tmp/snd directory.

Are they not in the /kojak/snd or /tmp/snd directory?
Are you running a stock image?
If not whose image are you running?

I am running Infinity 1.1a and have found only 4 .wav files in the locations you listed. I am sure they were removed to conserve memory. Thanks for the info. I will flash an original image and download the needed files to my server then copy them back to an Audrey with a Inf 1.1a image that has the updated screen keyboard installed. Thanks again.
