Homebrew Help with Betup Live

[VoltManEXE]

Geez! Look at me, I already have a post for SNEmulDS too...
Anyways, Betup Live is giving me troubles too. I tried it unpatched and patched for Games n' Music, but still,
it fails to connect to the notification server every time. But it doesn't even try for long and reconnects. It always says

Starting connection
Connected to the MSN dispatch server
Doing handshake...
[color=7F0037]Connection to notification server has died.[/color]
(^It does all of that in less then 1 second^)
Then, after doing that for about 15 times, it does a final message saying
QUOTEStarting connection
Connection to 3e320440 failed.
Cannot connect to the MSN dispatch server

So what exactly is going on here? It initially connects just fine, my internet connection runs fine, and I checked the Gateway address and it is correct.
So why wont it connect?

Probably an issue with your wireless set up...
Do other things work online?

Oh, sorry, nevermind. My friend told me that I needed to get Betup 0.7 because of an update from microsoft. It works fine now.
But do you know how to get images on it like this?: http://www.htheb.com/html/Beup/Beup_Live_Vista.jpg

Not sure, but I know that in the BEUP/Keyboard/ folder there's two BMP's for the keyboard which you can re-skin.

I grabbed the keyboard from the screenshot you linked...

If you have a screenshot of the upper case letters I can grab that, but currently I'm trying to figure out the font to 'make' a new one.
I know it's a Sans-Serif font, and it looks like a Gothic style... but I've never been good at font recognition. The font is ITC Franklin Gothic Compressed, which I don't have...

I cleaned up the background, added a grid layer for letter alignment and saved it as a PSD here in case you or someone else would like to make their own. I might give it a shot tomorrow if I feel up to it.

what beup rly needs is a keyboard with larger letters
since its hard for me to type fast and without errors

I wouldnt mind cutting out some of the white space
above the keyboard

also removing the enter and having a separate send
button on the right

hopefully it is not too difficult to create something like that ^^

you can actually do that.

the keyfiel defines where the keys are on the bitmap.

think you can use that to place them differently, using x and y coordinates.
