URL hyenas

The web hyenas are busy and logiquewerks.com has fallen prey to them, so that is now logiquewerks.ca

Some similar fate may await all things "eclectic-pencil" but a minus-sign as a hyphen in a web name is not worth defending!

tanaguru color contrast for accessibility


The following 3 URL's give 3 different results from the tanaguru page ... and are all accepted by the tanaguru Firefox plugin.

http://contrast-finder.tanaguru.com/result.html?foreground=%23AA3333&background=%23330000&isBackgroundTested=false&ratio=4.5&algo=HSV

http://contrast-finder.tanaguru.com/result.html?foreground=%233333AA&background=%23330000&isBackgroundTested=false&ratio=4.5&algo=HSV

http://contrast-finder.tanaguru.com/result.html?foreground=%23006600&background=%23330000&isBackgroundTested=false&ratio=4.5&algo=HSV

In each case the background is the brown of #330000.

All of the results are acceptable contrasting colours for text on a brown background ... but I think what a better tool might give is a carousel of results.

Am I missing something ?

Here are my setting :

settings for Android skins on Smart Keyboard Pro


If you did not start life with an Android phone, adding a "skin" or theme to the Smart Pro keyboard may not be as obvious as the Forum web page text suggests.

You must know that to the right of the keyboard choices are identical "slider" icons on the "Settings" page for Keyboard and Input and THAT ICON in THAT row is the settings they mean for you to click on.

When THAT settings page opens for Smart Keyboard Pro you will see the skins IFF you have placed the zip files in a /skins directory or 'folder' in the root of sdcard0 using a filesystem tool.

The 'forum' page should have an image of the entry Settings page so that you can SEE what they mean.  The keyboard would be so much better if there were an option to have a Settings key as a long click option !
