Touch Screen Icons for dzen2

Hey guys,
touch screens are more and more prominent in the modern computing world so I'm looking for ideas and scripts to make them useful with dzen2.
As you might know dzen2 (SVN) does support stackable, clickable areas using the ^ca() command. That way it's extremly easy to create simple
touch bars that will launch any command you could think of, e.g.:
echo '^ca(1,uzbl-browser)^bg(blue)^i(/path/to/uzbl.xpm)UZBL^ca()\
^ca(1,xterm -e mc)^ca(2,pcmanfm)^bg(green)^i(/path/to/filemanager.xpm)Files^ca()^ca()'\
| dzen2 -p
The above code will create a simple dzen bar with two items, Uzbl and Files, when clicking with the left mouse button into the former it will spawn uzbl.
While the latter will either launch mc when cliked with the left button or pcmanfm when clicked with the middle button.
So what I'm looking for is icons suitable for touch screen use and ideas on how to integrate dzen2 into touch scenarios.
Some already available custom icon packs can be seen here:  Dzen icon packs
Thanks for your attention, Rob.

Have you tried your good friend Google?
I found this during a quick search: Add-On Touch Screens
I am sure there are plenty of companies that make such devices, the only concern being that it is both Mac-compatible and of a desirable color.

  • Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

    Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
    1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
    2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
    3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
    4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
    5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
    6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
    7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
    If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
    So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

    Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

    Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

  • Custom home screen icon for a webapp.. just like Google - How?

    I noticed that when you add Google to your home screen it displays a custom icon.. not an image of the website like other sites. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this for my own webapps. I searched through the Google.com source code but didn't find anything that appeared to have anything to do with that icon.
    Hopefully this is possible for developers. Right now most of my icons are all white and its hard to distinguish which is which without reading the text below it.

    Found it on the iPhone web dev page..
    iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
    To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
    To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
    The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
    Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

    Thank you for your quick response.
    None of the offerred solutions work, please see screen captures.
    First Screen Capture: Computer does not recognize that a TouchScreen is an active device. [This indicates a driver is damaged and/or missing]
    Second Screen Capture: There are no Tablet PC Settings available. [This confirms that the driver is missing]

  • Touch Screen Support for OS X

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to OS X, recently making the jump from Windows.
    And I haven't looked back and don't think I will!
    I have come across quite a few problems during the transition when it comes to hardware, but usually it came down to my error with configurations.
    I am struggling with one issues and hoping someone in the apple community has overcome this and can maybe share the knowledge?
    Here goes:
    I have an AOC e2239Fwt multi touch monitor, works exceptionally well for a cheap touch screen with windows 7.
    However it hardly fuctions at all with MAC OS X, I have tried numerous touch screen device drivers with a glimmer of hope it may make mine function correctly.
    But they didn't, I have tried imtouchbridge, eol and 3m drivers non of which have worked!
    It recognises its a touch screen but I have to put 2 fingers on it to show the mouse cursor, but then its as if I have left click held down and it also is about 2 inches away from any of my fingers!
    If anyone can help it would be massively appreciated and if you can't, thank you for taking your time to read and consider.
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    unfortunately, the two drivers above are basically the same TPMon TouchKit drivers. I have used these with a resistive screen I had but the AOC doesn't appear to like them.
    Running parallels, the drivers from the AOC site are working perfectly. unfortunately i haven't been able to callibrate the screen as of yet so that is a little annoying but it isn't far off.
    In Mac os i am yet to find any useful drivers.  I did read on one site that touch-base have some drivers that can handle the AOC but they charge £180 for a single license and i dont know if i can justify that for the gimic of touch screen in mac.
    of course, if anyone out there knows of a similar driver to the touch-base one i would be only too happy to try it. i believe the have a gesture recognition package that can be run along side the driver to open up a few more features.
    sorry this isn't particularly helpful but hopefully it opens a few doors to ideas in people.
    I'm keen to see how this all turns out and if anyone manages to get the monitor running.

  • Touch Screen Retrofit for iMac9,1 Screens

    I am currently conducting research on virtual organs using the Hauptwerk/Classic MIDIworks systems. These are heavily dependent on touch screens. According to Darryl Wood of Classic MIDIworks " . . . there are a lot of switches inherent in organs. There's no way to implement that many physical switches, multiplied by all the different sample sets, practically or economically." This is why touch screens are recommended. That is to forgo the expense of independent drawknobs ($25 to $50 each) to say nothing of all the pistons, couplers, swell shoe displays and memory level displays that would cause a $7,000 organ project to drastically escalate in cost. I have found a retrofit in the form of the 3M MicroTouch System 3250EX. This is a surface capacitive touch system based on the 3M MicroTouch Controller EX and optimized for displays ranging from 6.4 to 32 inches.
    If you do not recommend the 3M system, please send a list of touch screens and necessary connection hardware.

    Hi @Bobi617 ,
    Welcome to the English HP Consumer Forums!
    Please feel free to post a revised message in English.
    I understand you are having issues after a possible update on your HP Notebook and your touchscreen not responding. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.
    Here is a document on troubleshooting the Touchscreen if the system restore does not help.
    Thank you, and have a great day!

  • Can you get your ipod touch screen fixed for free if its the first time that is broke?

    my friend broke her ipod screen and she took it into apple and they fixed it for free so can i get my fixed for free.

    If someone breaks part of their device (intentionally or otherwise) it is not covered by the 1 year warranty so I'm not sure why she would have had it fixed for free.
    If you are interested in finding out repair pricing make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store or contact AppleCare via phone.
    Cheers.
