Series 40 touch and type

In Series 40 touch and type, LWUIT applications are run in full canvas. The typical chrome elements, such as application title and softkeys, are implemented in LWUIT.

Application and Form title are displayed in the customisable TitleArea. System indicators are not displayed.

Commands are shown in the MenuBar. The command behviour in softkeys has been has reworked to provide better platform look and feel than the original LWUIT. For example, Options menu is now shown in the left softkey and so-called negative commands (Back/End/Clear) in the right softkey. The middle softkey is reserved for the default action.

Options menu is a LWUIT implementation, styled to resemble the touch and type native Options menu.

In series 40 touch and type, the TitleArea can be disabled, and also the bottom softkey area can be omitted by not defining any commands.
