I run the KDE Plasma desktop, which has a light and a dark theme. If I set the desktop theme to light then the system tray icons appear black, and if I set the desktop theme to dark than the system tray icons appear white, all accept the QVKbd icon which stays black.

I strongly prefer the dark theme. I've tried changing the two keyboard images I found in this repository to white ones. For some reason the system tray icon stayed black after I rebuilt and reinstalled QVKbd. How can I change QVKbd's system tray icon to white?

The version built from current master identifies as 0.1. If you could add a tag, it would make downstream packaging easier.

how to install?

Could you please add a way to customize the app via ~/.config/qvkbd or something like that? At the time of writing, I have two issues that I wish I could customize:

1. Initial size is too large, Dragging the window to the required size every time I launch it is tedious.
2. The font size on the keys is too small. I usually end up pressing buttons based on my memory of the layout rather than what I can see onscreen.

I use the program primarily because I have a broken 3 key on my laptop keyboard. I use i3 and I wanted to switch to workspace 3, I attempted to hold down command key for i3 on my laptop keyboard and click on key 3 in qvkbd. This resulted in not being able to use any other programs running and unable to close qvkbd. The 3 key on qvkbd was showing as being still held down, so i decided to plug in a usb keyboard laying around to try and regain control, I was able to press the 3 key and get it to unlock but was unable to regain control. Moments later either i3 or X crashed and I was thrown back into console. Note the keys of the laptop still worked but my mouses focus seemed to have been stolen and I was unable to close any programs or i3 which is what I tried first, so i wasn't able to switch to a terminal either to kill qvkbd process.

1. Design is simple and nice, though custom styles (themes/skins) would be a good aim for future development.
2. Switching system languages, virtual keyboard also changes to show the changed layout (tested with xkb, ibus) — you should note this important feature on the software web-site.
3. Switching is really fast comparing to the Onboard (good job!); however qvkbd shows only 2 layout levels (default and shifted), other levels (AltGr and higher) are not supported.
4. Only one keyboard geometry is not enough. Please, add "mini" variant without numeric keypad.
5. Numeric keypad can be altered with numpad(mac) option, i.e. only numbers, but current software release does not recognize such situation.
6. Main window cannot be resized(?).
7. If you additionally label caps with the physical layout (QWERTY) then qvkbd become a useful assistance of studying typing foreign scripts (Arabic, Cyrilic, etc.). Example. Good for testing xkb layouts too.
8. Could you, please, adapt your virtual keyboard to Wubi86 layout? It requires to show pictures (not text labels) on every cap.

I want to see default symbols like how it works on windows. But i cannot find a setting for this.

(See the grey symbols like @ and etc.)

It would be nice, that qvkbd would save the last position and size. So when the system starts new, the user don't have to move and toggle size at first.

This would be really cool on SteamDeck!

I can't find it.

Please add official release tag version (v1.0). Linux distros need this for packaging.
