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 !

Processing 1.5.1 for artists and others

There is a new release of the Processing programming language from MIT.  It is intended for artists and creative talents.  For non-programming kids, MIT has scratch and Microsoft has kodu while Smalltalk has both e-toys (as found on OLPC) and the Croquet/Cobalt projects.

The revisions in 1.5.1 have some notable admissions.

Needless to say, Processing is not to be found on the top-20 TIOBE language index on which Lua has now appeared ( and on which Smalltalk-ish Objective-C is rising.)

But which language will rise as Android becomes dominant?
