It’s a bit ugly because of my limited options for font choices (and limited skill), but I’m a lot happier with it than any of the themes provided on the developer’s site.
Free42 android skins skin#
So I created my own skin for Free42 based shamelessly on PCalc’s Samurai theme. I want the functionality of the calculator, but don’t much care for trying to emulate the look of the actual physical buttons. These aren’t bad, but I’ve really taken to the more modern, flat styling used in the PCalc Samurai theme.
The standard skins provided on the project page generally make this very clear, as most are based on photographs or scans of the HP 42s calculator itself.
I’ve taken to using the truly excellent PCalc for iOS for general calculation where I don’t have the HP calculator, but I also use an HP 42s calculator simulator called Free42 on Windows when I’m at the office.įree42 isn’t an emulator as it doesn’t use the actual HP roms, but it is an accurate simulator of the calculator. Free42 is an Android application that aims to replicate the functionality of the HP-42S calculator and the HP-82240 printer. These aren’t bad, but I’ve really taken to the more modern, flat. I have an HP 35s which is supposed to be at my desk at the office, but is currently at home. Free42 isn’t an emulator as it doesn’t use the actual HP roms, but it is an accurate simulator of the calculator. It has two calculators, binary, and decimal, two skins, realistic and standard as well as many other actions that include the option to import or export programs, clear or show the printout, and more. Over the last few years I’ve taken to using RPN for general calculations instead of the more common algebraic notation. Free42 HP-42S Calculator Simulator is a recreation of the HP-42S Scientific Programmable Calculator and HP-82240 Printer. Simple Modern Skin for Free42 HP 42s Calculator Simulator
