Using Silverlight streaming plugin for Windows Live Writer.

This article describes how to make use of available Silverlight Streaming plugin for Windows Live Writer.
Making use of this you can easily put Silverlight video on your blog. Before using this plugin, I am assuming you have already encoded your video and have Silverlight Streaming account, where you have already uploaded this encoded video. (If you don’t know how to do this, you can refer to article “Your video to Silverlight Streaming 101” by Bronwen Zande)
Now go to Windows Live gallery and get the plugin which is created by ClarkZoneUSA. Install it.
So when you open the Windows Live Writer, you’ll see it being listed.

Now when you click on the 'Insert Silverlight Streaming', it'll open a window where you have to type your Silverlight Streaming Accounts ID and key, where you have uploaded your Silverlight Streaming App. (Account ID and key can be obtained from ‘Manage Account’ page of your Silverlight Streaming account)

Then press refresh, so that it'll list all the Applications uploaded there. Select the app you want to post and press OK. A live preview can also be seen.

That's all, and publish it. You can see the Silverlight video on your blog.
Easy isn’t it? The plugin embeds the Silverlight video in blogs using iFrame.
TIP :
You can actually embed your Silverlight video in a very simple way using iframe if it’s supported using this code:
<iframe src=http://silverlight.services.live.com/invoke/AccountID/AppName/iframe.html
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="***" height="***"></iframe>
Where account ID is your account ID of Silverlight Streaming account details and appname is the name you have given to your uploaded Silverlight application and give appropriate value to width and height.
You can also try this way of putting Silverlight video in any web page, instead of using the plugin.

How to change the size of the touch and on-screen keyboard in Windows 10

Windows 10 PCs come with two keyboard apps, one is the OnScreen Keyboard , and the other is the Touch Keyboard . Basically, you don't need a touch screen to use the on-screen keyboard. It displays a virtual keyboard on the screen and you can use the mouse to select and press the keys. Although the on-screen keyboard app is very useful when we don't have a physical keyboard, its size is always a problem for users. You can move or enlarge the virtual keyboard from the icons in the upper right corner. If you want, you can also easily resize it. Changing the size of the on-screen keyboard is very easy. Type On-Screen Keyboard in your Windows search and run the desktop app, or you can also go via Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard> Turn on the On-screen keyboard. To change the size of the on-screen keyboard, move the cursor to the corner and drag it to the desired size. Resizing the touch keyboard is as simple as doing it! Just drag it and resize it us...

Designing the Windows 8 touch keyboard.

When we began planning how touch and new types of PCs might work on Windows 8, we recognized the need to provide an effective method for text entry on tablets and other touch screen PCs. Since Windows XP SP1, which had Tablet PC features built in, Windows has included a touchable on-screen keyboard. But those features were designed as extensions to the desktop experience. For Windows 8, we set out to improve on that model and introduce text input support that meets people’s needs, matches our design principles, and works well with the form factors we see today and expect to see in the future. I’m writing this blog post on our Windows 8 touch keyboard using the standard QWERTY layout in English. As I look at it, the keyboard seems very simple and sort of obvious. This comes partly from having worked on it for a while, but also because keyboards are familiar to us. But there is more here than meets the eye (or, fingertips). We started planning this feature area with no preco...

Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use.

Windows 10 will be compatible with most existing PC hardware; most devices running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 will meet the requirements for Windows 10. For full system requirements, see Windows 10 specifications. Some driver updates may be required for Windows 10. Existing desktop (Win32) application compatibility is also expected to be strong, with most existing applications working without any changes. Some applications that interface with Windows at a low level, those that use undocumented APIs, or those that do not follow recommended coding practices could experience issues. Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use. - The World of Windows. Contents: [ hide ] Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use. Existing Windows Store (WinRT) apps created for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 should also continue to work, because compatibility can be validated against all the apps that have been submitted to the Windows ...
