Can't say that I've experienced this at all.

It has happened to me a few times. We'll probably have to wait for a Google Keyboard update.
Sent from my Nexus 6

I use the dark keyboard, and have *never* seen this.

I've used the Dark Material on GKB, never saw this at all when I ran it on my GNex with ROM's, and on my currently acquired N6 from VZ.
Custom ROM or stock image?
Are you running any mods on the phone at all?

Black Notification bar for Froyo?

Has anyone figured out how? Last I checked, it wasn't possible to put white text on a black background or something

Look around in the Themes and Apps section; I believe there are quite a few mods out there to do this. Granted, you've got to be rooted to apply any of those anyway (I think?), so you might as well grab a Froyo ROM with it built in

I've been searching, but all of them seem to not be for froyo I'm already rooted so thats not a problem
Then check out the Kang-O-Rama Froyo release. It's got teh black bar sexiness with white text readability.
there is a black status bar for froyo but right around the clock area is gray due to the color problems... its def there, just look for the Morphs for froyo. I tried it, didnt like it, went back to solid gray
Froyo finally has a black status bar. I'm using the one with the gray clock area. But a few ROMs now have the full black bar.
Once official update is released it will be easy to do with metamorph.

[REQUEST][Q] Fully, black keyboard for .67 FW!

Anyone around here that got an totally, black coloured keyboard that is working on .67 and wants to share it with me? It shall replace the original grey / white one..
I tried out two but they both force closed on me constantly, so i went with swiftkey which has some black skins that look nice.

Oh.. That's an shame, because I need black skinned keyboard (that can handle rotation!!) that is working on .67 Firmware..
I dony know if you tried it yet, but there is a black skinned keyboard in the mods section of the Criskelo rom thread, thats one that didnt work for me, but his rom is based on stock 67 so its worth trying.

[Q] Black lollipop theme

I was wondering if anybody heard of a black theme for lollipop similar to the lovely nexus5 theme found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/theme-t2939926
Even better if a black lollipop option was to be included as stock by google, but this might be like asking the moon
Damn, that's gorgeous!
I've been hoping for a dark theme for a while. I'd gladly contribute funds to someone who's got the ability to make that theme for the X..
Google needs to take note, that is exactly how the stock OS should look. Or at a bare minimum have an option to switch to that.
Liquid Smooth ROM has the same BO settings and some apps (google messenger and dialer/contacts) hopefully they will developed it for the Moto X soon. I'm running it on my Nexus 6 and its great, it would look good on the Moto X too
I can't stand the white background in Lollipop, so I have switched to the Nova Launcher until there are themes to work with.
The settings background is still white.
Apex has the option for dark app card back ground
I use a dark theme on the Lollipop ROM that I'm running on my N5 (secondary via MultiROM) and it does make Lollipop much more palatable. I still prefer Kit Kat though and am still on 4.4.4 on my Moto X and as my main ROM on my N5.
It is interesting because they have dark settings in the Clock app but only at night it seems. Throughout the day, when I go into the clock app, it changes colors. At night last night I noticed it went dark and when I went into the settings, it was dark as well. So it is weird they would design the dark settings for just that one app, and not think or include it for the rest of the apps.
Maybe those lucky enough to have root can check out the clock settings to see whats being called to show the dark settings and use that knowledge to change the rest. Then again I am not a coder or developer so I have no idea if that would work.

Google Keyboard Material Dark Bug

Has anyone seen the Google Keyboard using the Material Dark theme, white out the borders like so?
Only when using a CM theme. Do you have one applied?
I have had this happen multiple times running stock 5.1 rooted (LMY47D). Its been happening once a day or so for the past week.
This is on the stock VZW 5.1 ROM. I'm rooted and the the only thing I've touched is the build.prop to tether.
I've had this issue, it comes and goes. I've experienced it on stock rom, rooted rom & a custom rom. It's definitely a Google keyboard bug.

Have you tried going into Settings>apps>all>Google keyboard and uninstalling updates? This might isolate if it is truly a bug.
I know that I haven't. I like Google keyboard b/c of it's simplicity.

This won't uninstall the keyboard, just the latest update. I use the material light theme and haven't encountered this at all.
I am aware that it won't uninstall the keyboard, I like dark theme though.

Dialer keypad color issue with MM OTA?

Installed OTA yesterday. Anyone else not able to change dialer keypad from the mental hospital white? I would prefer a dark dialer keypad, which was available in Sense 6. The only option under personalize is default (white). Initially the same was true with the keyboard, but after changing themes in the new theme settings, I got other options for the keyboard that were part of those themes. Still only default for dialer keypad, and no theme change would change it either, so regardless of theme chosen I still only get white.
I looked around the forums and saw that some had the same problem with sense 7 ROMs running on M8 and M9. There was a workaround by uninstalling the dialer app, and then updating it or simply reverting back to sense 6 dialer, but I've no option to do that under the app (just force stop, no uninstall).
Kind of at a dead end in figuring it out. Don't care for the bloat of 3rd party dialer/phone/messaging apps, but might have to try one. I'm not into rooting or mods on my main communication device, and so this phone has never been anything but stock (except for apps available in the store, naturally). I did have Apex launcher as my app launcher at the time of OTA, but that should not have thrown a wrench into the update (at least I don't think it should have). My next step is to factory reset to see if that resolves it...which I'm not eager to do.
Any thoughts?
Use the themes app and download a new keyboard theme.
Not all themes come with keyboard recolouring...

Thanks for the reply. I tried that. None of the themes had any affect on the dialer keypad -- still just white --, even the ones that showed in the preview to do so. The keyboard was changeable with via applying themes.
Hmmmm, if it is a Sense 7 based Sense 6 ROM , it won't work, AFAIK the only official Sense 7 ROM is Stock Rooted, soon will also have Bad Boyz 4.0.
Try the stock rooted, then report back please!
I'm not running a ROM, I'm newly OTA updated with Marshmallow, so I'm stoock Sense 7. I guess I'm wondering if what I described (only white phone dialer keypad) is normal behavior for Sense 7. Like I said, I can't change the color of the phone dialer keypad from white, either in settings or themes. If this is correct behavior for stock sense 7, that's OK, and I'll explore other options by way of a phone app.
Again, thanks.
It doesn't seem like normal behavior, I'm on Stock rooted MM...that is literally just changing the theme for me.

Got it to work. Don't know what the problem is. Some themes that show a change to the dialer in the preview do change it when applied, some do not. Now to find a way to edit the theme and retain the change to the dialer.
Thanks for the help.
Same problem same solution. I've only got one theme that was actually able to change the dialer colour to black "darkside" but I hate everything else about it. Could you suggest any other
