We encourage PPC Tablet users to share their custom profiles with other users. If you would like to share your own profiles, please send them to our tech support e-mail: support@amorphous-media.com.

If you are a trial version user, you can get a chance to win a full version of the product by submitting your custom profiles. During the 15-day trial period, create a layout profile and submit it. Authors of qualified submissions will be rewarded a copy of the full-version PPC Tablet software (delivered to their e-mail address). Their works will be posted on our website for public download.

Submissions need to include the following information: your name, e-mail address (for our internal use only), the newly created or customized layout profile, its name and a brief description of functionality. If you use images for buttons in the profile, be sure to include the image files in your submission as well.

When you submit your work, you agree that A&A Computer Services, Inc., obtains the right to modify, use and distribute that work on our website or in our product.

Some PPC Tablet users have shared with us the layout profiles they have created. To install any of these profiles onto your PPC Tablet, please download it by clicking the link. Then unzip it and transfer the layout profile (*.profile) to your Pocket PC under the directory of "\Program Files\PPC Tablet". The next time you start PPC Tablet, you will see the newly installed profile in the profile list. (The profiles listed here will usually be integrated into the installation package in the next major release.)

Media Center profile

Author: Darius Wey

With PPC Tablet and this Media Center plug-in, you can turn your Pocket PC into a fully-functional remote that works over any ActiveSync connection, or wired or wireless network connection. The Media Center plug-in has been designed solely for use in Windows XP Media Center Edition, and contains all the familiar buttons of a standard Media Center remote.

For directional navigation, alongside its on-screen buttons, the Media Center plug-in also supports the D-pad and action button on the Pocket PC. You can also use SIPs where text-based entry is required (e.g. Messenger).

Microsoft OneNote profile

The main Tablet region acts just like any other tablet region; "Set" and "Clr" set the tablet reference point and clear the traces, as usual.

There are six narrow buttons to the right of the tablet. The A with a circumflex is standing in for a long arrow; it means "To Top of Page". The ^ below it is Page Up, with the v standing in for Page Down. The capital V is "To Bottom of Page".

Stuck in the lower-right corner (part of the six buttons in that column) are "Insert Writing Space" (the equals, which looks sort of like the Insert Writing Space icon) and "Open Side Note Window", the SN button. Note that the Open Side Note Window button only works while OneNote is active, because it gets to it from menu surfing.

blk/blu/grn/red activate the black, blue, green, and red fine-tip pens, respectively; BK/BL/GR/RD activate the black, blue, green, and red bold-tip pens. These also work by menu surfing, because there are no "pen select" keystrokes in the program. OneNote therefore takes a little bit to process them (RD is "ALT-t, w, p, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow, down arrow, down arow, down arrow, down arrow, enter)- wait for the menus to disappear before using. If you've re-defined the properties of any of your pens, PPC Tablet will obviously wind up using those, because that's all it can do. Furthermore, if your pen menu is "folded", which I don't think it can ever do, it will misfire and probably hit a random pen.

Ylw/Grn/Trq/Pnk are the same, except for the yellow, green, turquoise, and pink highlighters, respectively. Ers activates the small eraser; there are no buttons for the medum, large, or stroke erasers as the size of the PocketPC screen makes it such that a larger eraser might do more damage than good. Del just presses the "delete" key on your keyboard, generally erasing whatever is selected. Finally, the "Sel" button activates the regular (non-drawing) cursor again.
