About this app

Description

This simple calculator comes in a brown paper wrapper but can be dressed up to personalize its appearance to the user’s own style. Users can create their own versions of buttons, banners and save these to the "Download" folder to customize the appearance.
BrownPaper now has inbuilt Backgrounds, Banners and Buttons. Users can still provide their own which will take precedence over the inbuilt equivelents.

The following features can be set by the user saving files to the download folder of the phone/tablet:
• Body of the calculator
• Banner [Graphic just below the display] Can be editable text.
• Appearance of the calculator keys [C & DEL keys separately to the other keys]
• Welcome text message scrolled on to the screen at start-up/resume.
• Welcome voice message [or Fanfare.mp3] at fresh start-up or a greeting base on the editable text field.
Details of how to use these options are in the calculator HELP menu.

Inbuilt Buttons, Banners, Backgrounds and Displays are set via the Settings menu.

BrownPaper Caclulator is free and now without previous limitations.
