Use a image editor such as, paintshop pro to modify the largekb.bmp file of
the large keyboard SDK sample. You can have as many rows,cols, as you want.

then modify the coordinate to key conversion functions, ex.
IM_GetKeyFromCoord, which will be based on the new key layout. The effort is
not alot, perhaps 2 days, but the coordinate conversion is somewhat confusing
until you figure it out. more if your not familiar with the image tool.

another solution is to change the code that actually loads the keyboard into
the display rectangle. reposition the bitmap or reduce the top edge may cover
the F keys.
