HP QuickTouch: OSD for volume, etc...

I just noticed that HP has some new software called QuickTouch which gives an on-screen display when you change the volume. Some people were looking for it, so I wanted to point it out. Works on my dv9500t for volume up and down.

 

I tried it, don't like it. I prefer the Microsoft Intellitype software. it's a lot more responsive and discreet than QuickTouch.

 

Ya I see it as a download, but can you just put of a screenshot or something so we can see what it looks like.
Thanks

 

Is that something you need a Microsoft keyboard/mouse to use, or does that work on any system?

 

Works on any system. Just choose Digital Media keyboard when you install. You get a nice little volume bar in the bottom right hand of the screen.

 

can anyone please post a screenshot?
Is it just like a replacement for the vista volume control thing or does it just show the volume when changing it like http://www.macuser.com/images/volumemeter.jpg where they have that little thing that comes up on the screen showing the volume.
Thanks

 

I didnt take any screen shots of QuickTouch before I uninstalled it. It has a large black rectangle in the center of the screen with dots to show the volume level.

The Microsoft software has a neater display and is more responsive. I found quicktouch to be sluggish.

Anyway here's a shot of the Intellitype display.

 

so then it is kind of like the mac volume thing, except it isn't transparent?
Thanks

 

Here is a screenshot of what quicktouch looks like

 

that is awesome!!
thanks for telling us orev

thanks, it looks cool
just a question about it though. If lets say you were in a full screen app like a game and you hit the volume button. Will it minimize the app (possibly crashing it)? And about how long does it stay on the screen for?

Thanks

 

Don't know about full screen mode. It stays on the screen for a few seconds.

 

no, it just shows up on top of the screen, it does not minimize the window
