1. A method for aligning an input interface of a touchscreen with an overlay for the touchscreen, the method comprising:
receiving a touch input on the touchscreen, wherein the touch input identifies a first position on the touchscreen corresponding to an alignment mark of the overlay;
receiving a second touch input on the touchscreen that identifies a second position on the touchscreen corresponding to a second alignment mark of the overlay;
determining, based on the received touch inputs, a region of the touchscreen in which to render the input interface;
rendering the input interface in the determined region of the touchscreen;
rendering the input interface in a first scheme when a short edge of the input interface is oriented horizontally on the touchscreen; and
rendering the input interface in a second scheme when a short edge of the input interface is oriented vertically on the touchscreen,
wherein input elements of the input interface are arranged differently in the first and second schemes.
