This look like it will do the job?

looks pretty nifty to me. This functionality probably makes the coding much easier and faster

I know it isn't the 'virtual keyboard' that was originally requested, though I do want to say that v2.2 now has significant touch support.

I added an on-screen remote control (per the screenshot above), and this turned out to be quite a bit harder than I expected, mainly because other elements kept taking focus away from the remote and it wouldn't respond to presses, so I had to jump through some hoops to get this working correctly. While I was working on it, I kept thinking it would probably just be easier to make the GUI touch enabled.

So I did. Well, a lot of it, anyway. The biggest gap is the Movie/CD covers still are not touch enabled, and I think that is too big of a task for v2.2, but all of the menu's are now touch enabled, and if you also turn on the on-screen remote, you can scroll through the covers too.

Hopefully this is enough to at least make v2.2 usable for touch-screen users without a keyboard/remote. And I promise in the future I will finish adding touch support to the rest of the GUI.

And with the new custom Links app/URL launcher in v2.2, you can set up a button to launch the Windows on-screen keyboard.
