Hi folks!
I searched in the Market and couldn't really find anything like what I was looking for, so here I am.
Could someone make a WP7-styled skin for Better Keyboard? Here are some reference photos/videos:

Kinda, sorta, not really lol.
It's flatter... no gradient effects. Very legible I think.
i like that idea
I just themed the stock keyboard (I don't use Better Keyboard).
I tried changing the text color from both apktool and source but source throws out errors and the apk produced by apktool doesn't work.

There's a quick metamorph, it's by no means perfect, but close. There are 2 metamorphs inside, so you'll have to open the zip and pull which ever one you need out (HDPI or MDPI).
I'll look into possibly creating a Better Keyboard skin (as per the OP's original request).

Oh my, can this be re-uploaded? I want this!
Would it be possible for you to add a 1px/2px border to the squares?
HTC magic
Uh does the Metaporh work for HTC magic? I installed the MDPI version and it hanged and when i rebooted, the keyboard force closes everytime

Currently (I have no plans for resizing as I have no way testing other sizes) this is only for WVGA. You MUST have Swype already installed on your device!

Nice Job!
Looks like you put a lot of work into these.
That is what I am talking about!
@ xpressyourcell
Damn sweet work my friend! Looks great..................
which swype version should i install ?
Nice theme
Hello, I loved your theme colour.You have done a very creative work in designing your theme.
Ooooops...
Just thought I'd let you know that you missed one skin image. page two of the numbers & symbols is either missing or called incorrectly.
Love it other than that!

I'll look into that. Thank you.
Which one are you using? There are 14 images total, and there are 14 images in the CAB. Did you try re-installing it? I need to know which one it is because I have no missing images on mine. (a screenshot of the missing keyboard would be great). Thanks.
swype themes
would anyone be interested in putting this into a wqvga format?
here's the missing layout from the dusk skin... it's not the most useful kb in the whole swype package, but we'd still like it to be there
Hi xpressyourcell,
is this for swype 2.0 with the WWE dictionary files? It looks amazing...
SOLVED:
1. Installed and tested on my phone (signature).
2. Same problem here as orlandojumpoff.
Question:
Very god work xpressyourcell. Can you made one complete in black.
I also don't have found on ppcgeeks.

If that's the case, then the HTC-like skin is missing it as well. I had deconstructed that CAB to know where to put all of the images, and that one isn't in there. It will take me a little while to get that fixed.

omg this is the most amazing keyboard skin I've seen.
Ok now how to get this in wqvga??
Is it just a matter of scaling the images from wvga or what?
What do I need to do?

I would assume so.
cool thks. Already played with it on the weekend and reduced the wvga images by 50% and only replaced these images to the SwypeRef file folders. Works a treat. Just could'nt find page 2 image of special characters??? Did you ever get to fix that/or add it???
Thks again for this AWESOME skin.... it truly is good!!!
i used Gimpsta's tool to skin jonasl's htc_ime so it would match with the Elegance theme. i think it looks pretty good, so if you want it you can download it here.

sick. i dont even have elegence theme since im on cyanogen 2.1, but still gonna use it.
This is awesome. I know that with this coming out there will be more like it. I cant wait to see what people will do when skinning the IME. Great job. I to am using it even though using CM's newest.
great job man. i think it suits elegance perfectly
Congratulations, nice job! using already
I love it!, I planned to start making something like this for a theme Im making. And you have read my mind. Only the green colour of Elegance style won't fit. I would like to change it into yellow or orange ( I still didnt decide) or maybe grey (so it'll fit better with every theme).
So I hope you can help me later.

have you made any progress?
Does this keyboard have haptic feedback?
SO..... This is a pretty barebones theme, the only thing i have modified so far is the framework to change the notification panel only. I also made a custom dockbar for LauncherPro. I have only tested this on my N1 running the latest nightly.
Try at your own risk. Do a nandroid back up.
Enjoy.
+Make sure you change your notification colors in the CyanogenMod settings under User Interface
I have exported my xml to match my screenshots. Download the cmparts_ui.zip and extract on the root of your sd.
+Wallpaper link http://knives-banime.deviantart.com/art/Minimalistic-Black-and-White-8089287
+LauncherPro dock is labeled bw_2glass copy.png you can download it below.
+I'm also working on a MPDI version for lower res screens. This one might take a while. I already had the HDPI version completed i just did not have time to upload until tonight.

By aodpoe at 2010-08-27
What are the odds of it working on something not a nexus one?
Edit: Didn't, but I haven't been able to get Metamorph working at all recently , so might not be saying much.
i like this... alot. great work man. btw i have always wondered why you dont post your themes in the N1 section? its just a lot of N1 users dont come here so will never get a chance to see your awesome themes.
Hi, nice one. But I got 2 issues:
There's a white line right under the Launcher Pro Dock. I set your "bw_2glass copy.png" as the dock background. Please see attached screenshot.
The notification drawer has "T-Mobile" sort-of hardcoded in it. I've got a completely different carrier...
Any hints on that? Thanks
I'm in Cyanogen 6.0.0 stable
EDIT: Okay, now I get it: it's actually in the picture. Would've liked it better without it...

For some reason I thought this section would be more appropriate. But I guess you are right, I may need to post my themes under nexus theme section from now on. Thanks.

I will release a version without carrier name. I will also release the psd file for the dock for you to edit it to your liking. Sometime this week.

I'd be interested on how these look....have a photo of it on a phone?
Could someone mirror it on something besides 2share..
Please?

Did anyone get this moved to a different download site?
i would also like to see a phone pic w/ these =]
Wow, what an incredibly $%&$!#* download site. Gave up, will try again if it's moved to somewhere else.
I'll reupload somwhere else...

there you go
here is the pic
the program icons are slightly different with smaller text below the app name...
edit: second ss with the other icons
can these be used on the droid x because I keep getting message that this device does not support the download
I love the idea! but I don't have the skill to use psd files and stuff. Does anybody with photoshop skill want to expand this collection? I'm sure it would make a bunch of people happy if that's any consolation.

Soon after I posted, I looked at your other work as well and now I think I'm going to try to make a wp7 look. lol When I do switch back to just using LauncherPro (I change my phone's look a lot) I'd use these icons though.

The set is INCOMPLETE (about a hundred icons). I do not wish to continue the development since I don't feel the need for it.
But I still decided to release it in case any of you still want them.
For those who wants to play a little, I've included a template so you can create your own icons yourselves. (See tutorial below)
Tutorial:
1. Open the template in Photoshop.
2. Select any icon you want and open it Photoshop. If you are one of those who are using my Simplified Upgraded set, much better if you use them.
3. Copy your icon & place it over the top of the template. Adjust the size & location of your icon so as to fit the designated area.
4. Save your artwork as png and you're done!
E n j o y !
For the welcome screens you can visit this thread.
Simplified Glass & template
And if you're still up to making a glass-like icon set, here's a few and a template.
When you're done, perhaps you can post some screen shots and inspire others of your work.
Go play!
EDIT:
I have attached a bigger template for better resolution. Just don't forget to resize it (128x128 or 90x90, or according to your need). Otherwise it will eat up your device's resources.
Looks good...thanks guy...
