+
+<p>SoftKeys has a lot of options so you can use it the way you like.</p>
+
+<a name="service"></a>
+<div class="header">Preferences: SoftKeys Service</div>
+<p>These options control the always visible on-screen service.  That
+includes the service popper, and the service bar.</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><b>Run Service:</b>
+    Enable or disabled the on-screen service.  When
+disabled, the only way to use SoftKeys is through the home-button
+interface.</li>
+    <li><b>Size:</b>
+    Choose how big the service icons are.  By default,
+they are the same size as all icons on the device, but you can make them
+bigger or smaller here.</li>
+    <li><b>Button Bar Transparency:</b>
+    Set the transparency level of the service bar while on screen.  Usually
+you will want the service bar to be only a little transparent so you can
+easily identify the buttons.</li>
+    <li><b>D-Pad/Custom Transparency:</b>
+    Set the transparency level of the service D-Pad while on screen.</li>
+    <li><b>Popper Transparency:</b>
+    Set the transparency of the service popper button.  Usually you will
+want the service popper to be partially transparent so it doesn't obscure
+the screen.</li>
+    <li><b>Auto Hide:</b>
+    If selected then the service bar will automatically hide after you
+select a button.</li>
+    <li><b>Auto Hide After Back:</b>
+    If left unselected while the Auto Hide option is selected, then hitting
+the back button will not auto hide the bar, but all the other buttons will.
+If selected then hitting back will also auto hide the bar.</li>
+    <li><b>Transparent Background:</b>
+    Hide the service bar background and leave only hovering buttons.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="virtual"></a>
+<div class="header">Preferences: Virtual Home Button</div>
+<p>These options control the behaviour of the virtual home button in both
+the main SoftKeys interface, and the on-screen softkeys service.</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><b>Normal Press:</b>
+    The launcher to open when you press the virtual home button.</li>
+    <li><b>Long Press:</b>
+    The launcher to open when you long-press the virtual home button, if
+you want easy access to two launchers.</li>
+    <li><b>Return After Back:</b>
+    For the SoftKeys home button interface, checking this box will make it
+re-open the interface if you select the virtual back button.  This does not
+effect the SoftKeys service.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<a name="physical"></a>
+<div class="header">Preferences: Physical Home Button</div>
+<p>These options control what SoftKeys does when you press the physical
+home button on the device if SoftKeys is set as the default launcher.
+<b>These settings only have any effect if SoftKeys is the default
+launcher.</b></p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><b>Home Button:</b>
+    This sets the physical home button behavior.  By default, pressing home
+will pass through to your selected "Normal Press" launcher.  Double-tapping
+the physical home will bring up the SoftKeys home interface.  You can
+change this to be the opposite, single press for SoftKeys, double-press for
+launcher.</li>
+    <li><b>Double Press Time:</b>
+    How many milliseconds to wait for the second home button press.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<a name="visual"></a>
+<div class="header">Preferences: Visuals and Layout</div>
+<p>These options control the layout of the buttons and any visual elements
+like themes.</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><b>Theme:</b>
+    Select theme.  Themes can be downloaded and installed from the market,
+and can change the icons and layouts of the interface.</li>
+    <li><b>Exit Button:</b>
+    If selected, then an exit button will appear in the SoftKeys home
+interface.  If unchecked, then there will be no exit button.  You can press
+the physical home button to exit SoftKeys if you have to exit button.</li>
+    <li><b>Prefs Button:</b>
+    Enables the preferences button in the SoftKeys home interface.  Without
+this button you can still access Preferences through the SoftKeys menu or
+by long-pressing on the black background above the SoftKeys buttons near
+the middle of the screen.</li>
+    <li><b>Blur Behind:</b>
+    If enabled, the background will be blurred when you bring up the home
+button interface.  This tends to be slow on many devices and is off by
+default.</li>
+    <li><b>Dim Background:</b>
+    Dims the background behind the home interface.  This is a fast
+operation and makes it obvious when SoftKeys is the main activity.  If
+unselected then the windows behind the home interface will show through
+like normal but you will be unable to interact with them because SoftKeys
+is actually controlling the whole screen when in the home interface.</li>
+    <li><b>Recent Apps:</b>
+    Select to toggle the Recent Apps at the top of the home interface.  If
+your device has a disabled Recent Apps (typically long-press home) then
+turning this on will give you similar functionality, as the Recent Apps
+will show at the top of the SoftKeys home screen, and you can tap on the
+icons to launch them.</li>
+    <li><b>Change Button Order:</b>
+    This will bring up another configuration screen allowing you to assign
+the order of the home/menu/back/search buttons.  This is the order they
+will show up both in the service and in the home interface.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="notification"></a>
+<div class="header">Preferences: Notification Bar</div>
+<p>SoftKeys can also add notifications to the notification bar that will
+send virtual key presses.</p>
+
+<ul>
+    <li><b>SoftKeys Button:</b>
+    Add a notification to launch the home interface to the notification
+bar.</li>
+    <li><b>Menu Button:</b>
+    Add a notification to to press "menu" from the notification bar</li>
+    <li><b>Home Button:</b>
+    Add a notification to to press "home" from the notification bar</li>
+    <li><b>Back Button:</b>
+    Add a notification to to press "backu" from the notification bar</li>
+    <li><b>Search Button:</b>
+    Add a notification to to press "search" from the notification bar</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a name="error_messages"></a>
+<div class="header">Error Messages:</div>
+
+<b>Failed to find file: [filename]</b><br/>
+<p>This error means SoftKeys was unable to find a system component it needs
+to operate.  The two main components are SuperUser and the input script.
+Most android devices come preinstalled with the input script, and if your
+phone is rooted it usually has SuperUser installed as well.  However it's
+possible to have a rooted phone and not have SuperUser installed.  If this
+is the case then SoftKeys will probably not work correctly.</p>
+<p>Usually what will happen is the virtual home button will work, but
+menu/back/search will not.  If this is the case, make sure you have a
+working SuperUser installation.</p>
+
+<b>Unable to check for file: [filename]</b><br/>
+<p>This means the policy manager on the device is disallowing the file
+check.  You might see this instead of seeing the "Failed to find file"
+message.  This means you may or may not have the required parts, but
+SoftKeys can't tell.  SoftKeys may or may not work.  If it doesn't work
+right, it will behave as explained above in the "Failed to find file"
+section.</p>
+
+<b>Unable to execute as root</b><br/>
+<p>Something happened and SoftKeys was unable to obtain root access, which
+is required to send key events to other applications.  Maybe something is
+wrong with your SuperUser installation, or you have denied SoftKeys root
+access when the SuperUser prompt was shown.  In this case, it will function
+as described under "Failed to find file" because it will be unable to
+execute the required commands as root.</p>
