Customising the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK)

Customising the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK)

VisitorRego allows you to change the appearance and layout of the on-screen keyboard (OSK) to better suit your branding, accessibility needs, or hardware setup. These customisation options also apply to other buttons and elements throughout the Self-Registration process, allowing you to tailor the interface to your brand’s look while keeping it easy to use for all visitors.


Accessing OSK Customisation Settings


From VisitorRego's Admin modeselect Options > Self Registration tab, then select the OSK Customise button.



This will open the OSK Setup window, where you can adjust various settings.

Alert
Setting the height and width values of the keyboard keys too high can cause the keyboard to exceed the screen limits, resulting in parts of the keyboard being cut off.
Alert
Setting the fore color to white can cause visibility issues, especially when hovering over the keyboard keys or buttons. The background color changes to yellow on hover, making the white text very hard to see.
