On-Screen Keyboard Class Names

The appearance of the KeymanWeb On-Screen keyboard can be customized by a web designer by redefining (or adding to) the default styles used by KeymanWeb. Styles recognized by the OSK all have the class name prefix "KeymanWeb_VK_", and are divided into in two groups, classes associated with OSK keys, and classes associated with other OSK elements.

Class names for styles associated with keys are indicated in the following table:

KeymanWeb_VK_PinStyle for title bar 'pin' (restore OSK to default position)
KeymanWeb_VK_CloseStyle for Close button in OSK title bar
KeymanWeb_VK_ResizeStyle for resize control (lower right corner of OSK)

An additional class, KeymanWeb_VK_Char_<keyboardName>, can also be defined if a developer requires OSK keys to change appearance when a particular keyboard is selected. Two further styles KeymanWeb_VK_Right and KeymanWeb_VK_RightStatic allow the UI designer to control the appearance of the right OSK border.
