    ShowKeyPlus UWP images


    Hey Theme Team,

    As you may know I'm busy creating a UWP version of ShowKeyPlus. For this I need images for display on the Start menu, Start screen etc.
    I've included a zip file with templates and the current icon (dunno what happened to original png, unfortunately)

    So, if I can get those templates converted to the icon image, I'll be super thrilled ( I know the wide one will be a tall order, so it does not have to be exactly conforming to the original but a close-as-can-be would be cool as well)

    TIA *Biggrin

    Launch Path for UWPs

    I have a MS wireless keyboard 3000 v2. With the MS mouse and keyboard centre, some of the shortcut keys can be used to trigger specific actions or launch specific apps.

    I have not trouble setting shortcuts for win32 apps but not for UWP apps. If I create a shortcut for the UWPs on the desktop and reference to open the UWP via that shortcut I get an catastrophic error prompt.

    Re-Activation following a Win10 Update?

    Unfortunately I don't see an image you posted, but I can imagine what it was.

    In the past this means there is no embedded key in the bios. Did the Dell come with Windows 8 pre-installed by Dell. (just checking)

    You can use a 3rd party program to find the key, for example ShowKeyPlus.
    https://github.com/Superfly-Inc/ShowKeyPlus/releases
    It should show the keys used by windows. If it shows a Windows 8 key then try using that.

    This looks like a promising release. *Cool

    If you'd have an icon of 256x256 or a png, this would be very easy to convert.

    Well, the provided ico has 64x64 image as the biggest one.

    I would't recommend stretching this one up but it might do just fine for some of the sizes.
    The only problem for now is with the ones of 150x150 and 310x150. I'm pretty sure the forum's Photoshop wizards will come to the rescue here. *Wink

    I've attached the fast GIMP resize-drafts i got on top of the templates but it may need some extra fine-tuning.
    You'll need to pick a bg-color maybe? I've sticked with transparency for now.

    Cheers!

    Nice H! Thanx *Wink

    Jus an after-thought.... may be the first of many lol... what about changing the dots to asterices?

    And yup we can't stretch too much - the background is up to you guys...

    That's a good idea.
    And that way we might do a full remastering using a bigger-size key, so all sizes up to 310px are well displayed.
    I'll try something tomorrow.

    Hi Craig, I just stumbled onto the thread. When you tagged me, you forgot the space and the tagged CliffS went to someone else*Wink

    When it comes to UWP stuff that's definitely Horace's world. By the way Hi to you too, Horace*Smile

    I applied it to your .exe as a custom tile.

    What I find cool about that icon/png, the background color is the approximate color scheme as the shield for a program that needs elevated privileges.*Wink

    Here is the complete kit if you wish to test it: ShowKeyPlus custom kit.zip

    Hi Cliff,
    Nice work!

    I'm unfortunately no UWP-dev, just some tester and most of all user. *Smile
    Icons on the other hand...

    As I mentioned, the key is very low-quality if you resize it above 64x64. That's a no go.
    You may wanna check this one for use:

    OK Craig,

    Here goes...
    The initial icon was using Win7 looks. I found that key from prev post in Win7 imageres.
    The good news is that Win10 has it's own revamped pack.

    So I got the new key, you may like it or not + some asterisk and border enhancements:

    You either wanna go with this
