You can change the colors to anything you want.

If you have modified your controls, make sure to make the appropriate modifications to the layout. Also, you can adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad based on your preferences, all you have to do is modify it in edit mode. You can control the entire game through your iPad.

I have included extra buttons on the second page for when more controls are added to the game. To move them over, switch to the 2nd page, go into edit mode, drag the controls to the left edge, switch to the first page and continue dragging them to the appropriate location.

Step 3: Connect to your Computer

Use the appropriate instructions for your OS to connect to your computer.

I re-added the keypad link as a Dropbox link because Steam has purged Mediafire links

Figured it out. Was connected to my guest WifI -__- Once that was fixed it connected fine. Got it working with Arena Commander aswell.

Thanks for the guide.

Awesome looking concept, but can't get it to connect iPad 2 to Windows 7 64bit. Error 113, which isn't on dev's troubleshooting list. I port forwarded 5900 to the PC IP.
