The Latest Version of the Keyguard Designer

You can obtain the latest keyguard designer (and the openings_and_additions.txt file) here, along with a complete list of all changes made to the software. 

The key changes are described below.

Changes you’ll find in version 70:

  • Removed support for recommending pre-version 66 Customizer changes in the Console pane.   If you are upgrading from a version prior to version 66 and have lots of designs, contact us so we can upgrade your JSON file.
  • Modified the definition of dovetails for split keyguards and frames to support choosing a specific dovetail size and adjusting their location.
  • Removed the “swap camera and home button option” in the Tablet section and replaced it with a “rotate tablet 180 degrees” option, which allows for tablets with unequal borders to be rotated without changing the standard tablet data.
  • Added support for keyguards without cases requiring different corner radii in different corners (e.g., the Tobii I-Series 16 device).

Changes you’ll find in version 69:

  • Added support for the iPad Air M3 11 & 13 inch and for the iPad 11 (A16).
  • Added support for the NovaChat 5.3.
  • Added support for the TobiiDynavox I-16.
  • Added support for the Via Pro, Via Nano, and Via Mini.
  • Added support for the NovaChat 10.7, which uses a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 – probably…
  • Modified the behavior of edge compensation to be measured from the edge of the keyguard rather than the edge of the screen.
  • Modified the behavior of the rridge shape so that it is anchored in the lower-left corner and introduced the crridge shape that is anchored at its center.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the grid not to respond properly to edge compensation settings.
  • Added support for “engraving” any of the basic shapes into the underside of a keyguard to support the NovaChat 5.3.
  • Added ability to hide the grid area to help with setting padding values based on a screenshot.
  • Changed the keyguard designer’s behavior to prevent cells from overlapping each other because of the specified cell height/width and the specified number of rows/columns.  This is the issue described in version 68 and illustrated below.  Now, the designer will limit the height and width of a cell opening so that there will always be a small rail around the cell.
