This is what I mean, I'm using swiftkey fuchsia theme as base, the color of the letters is set to be red, but with some color filter from style.json, it changes to green and take it some cain of metal look.

The first one is with filter but a little enhanced and the second is with normal filter, what I don't know is how to make that filter to set the proper color, in this case red, not green.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
[MENTION=3544051]syverman[/MENTION]:

well, to me, it looks like you've only increased the saturation level of the 1st screenshot as a whole. You will not be able to get that arc in the shade since every base key is always the same - not like your first pic where the green covers way more on "g" than "q".

Re changing green for red, well I had a very quick look and the theme and I have no clue on how those color filters work.

"key_styles": [
{
"id": "baseStyle",
"background": "key_base.xml",
"color": "#7a078a",
"background_color_filter": "0.314,-0.284,1,0,0,1.5337,0.5,-1.003,0,0,0.0742,-0.0435,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0",
"color_filter": "0.314,-0.284,1,0,0,1.5337,0.5,-1.003,0,0,0.0742,-0.0435,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0",

So I'd say: you can try searching for standard color format filters and try to change them to the red you want, but all in all, it would be much easier to deal with pngs instead.
[Android Themes] syverman:
Yeah, don't know why the color filter change the red in to green, but at the end I made it from another swiftkey base, just I like how that green looks, but that's OK, the final theme that I made is more pleasant to my eyes.

About pngs, right now don't have pc, making all from my phone, hoping that by the end of the month get a new one.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Depends on the app, it's made for my clear apps but will show what's behind it mostly. Some apps styles use theme and some use widget..it shows the wallpaper on widget but in theme it uses whatever the app gives. White apps show grey..Black show black and clear apps show wallpaper.

Latest stable version is SuperSwiftkey-5.2.3.144.apk

Latest beta version is SuperSwiftKey-beta-5.3.0.85.apk
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I'm having a few issues but I'll figure them out. Spacebar issues won't be fixed yet..Just trying to port and get new themes added. It will be a tester until I get jaggyjags fixes and fix a few from others who are MIA.

I have a full plate this week but I have assigned time every day to work on this.

Beta going stable changed a ton so older themes based on nickel have to be fixed as well as a few other stock themes were changed.

The actual SwiftKey devs have a few things coming to help us..yep you hard me I've been grape vined to keep an eye out for something we will love. Mostly to help with the amount of themes we have included.

3 party support, I guess, is being discussed so if they do we might have to package each theme for their store.

All speculation at this point so just wanted to give a status on what I'm working with.

You guys creating themes on your phone are freaking crazy and I respect craziness like that. I couldn't even try creating a theme on my phone. My eyes would go blind lol

Ok back to work..I'll have something today.

[Android Themes] Tylog:
Take your time, today, tomorrow, whenever. Done when done. Btw, they puched a new one today. 5.3.1.66 (no beta)
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I think that we'll now be able to stop talking about "stable" and beta versions really...

The new UI (v5.3.x.x) hit the Playstore a couple version back (2-3 weeks ago?) so in my mind, we shouldn't really talk about any beta version anymore...

Whatever is available through the Market is what SSK will shortly be...

Here's what I just screen grabbed:
[Android Themes] natezire71:
So, they actually know about this mod--and yet, they still make crappy/ugly themes? I've been in the beta group and wanted to reference Super Swiftkey as a point for making better themes, but was afraid that they'd shut you guys down or something (like Whatsapp).
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
They tolerate us,, only because we keep the integrity of the actual app. We don't create free versions of their paid one's. And they have happier users. Win win
[Android Themes] Tylog:
Yes, but look at the update day, it show today :) and I have the original beta installed and it's not updated :) maybe the build number update later, don't know :)

But for me no difference what the number say. I only to point it, i know dj update and a few minutes later the next come and ask for a update xD
[Android Themes] natezire71:
That's what I figured. It just astounds me that people (in their free time) can make themes that are bounds better than what Swiftkey can make.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I guess that you refer to my last post there...

I don't know either about how they go about version number /release, but I think that it becomes available at different times (day in fact) depending on user location. The version you mentioned will probably show up for me tomorrow and is already June 17th here

[emoji6]

It was like so for the last couple 5.3 versions.

Anyhow, I wasn't trying to be smartass there but just voicing out the fact that we should avoid talking about beta releases from SwiftKey going forward to avoid confusion and numerous people asking about it.
[Android Themes] Tylog:
Yes, different update times should be the reason, that's what I thinking too. If even well-intentioned, DJ Updated and then the new version directly in the store and then it starts again with update update blabla :)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Swiftkey i'm sure is happy about our contributions to their keyboard. As dj said as long as we keep main app in tact and not modify paid themes, a smart company would realize that it all comes down to money. They get to use and publish close to 100 themes that didn't cost them 1 cent. Companies would kill for free labor like that. Lol. Plus it shows that they are listening and watching what true android users are doing which is a good thing. More big companies should embrace user contributions and input, it keeps both sides, user and development on the same page. Maybe more people will see and realize they to can contribute and there will be more of stuff like this in the future.

LEGALIZE IT.

It's growing daily and I'm loving the dedication here on the thread.

More informative and helpful. I might go github open sources on the themes folder only with custom themes...Just thoughts for the future. :)
[Android Themes] syverman:
When I put my themes on lasted stable 5.3.124, it's install, go through setup wizard all ok, but then get fc when it pop up the keyboard, there is something new on lasted stable? need to base my themes on lastes? because I'm based on beta 5.3.1.50 and there all is working great, they maybe change something.

I'll keep with this one until DJ release the new one
[Android Themes] IronTechmonkey:
Well put in re the synchronicity between user and dev. Also perhaps Swiftkey realizes they are more widely distributed by virtue of the work done here. Although I don't use swiftkey daily I'd have never played with it at all or be recommending it to others had I not explored it here.

Is that an issue? Can't see the space button
[Android Themes] syverman:
On pre-lollipop themes, the space button disappear on lastes releases of swiftkey, is a known issue.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
It would help if you would mention the theme name next time...

Keep reading below.

Yes, I don't remember exactly which themes (I think ones from Ross), but I've seen a couple of theme preview thunbnails that looked just like that.

So yes, some themes are still to be adapted and their spacebars fixed for newer SK version, but there might also be others that are actually designed like so...

edit:

Ross' IOS minimal gray and dark are the ones I've noticed having their thumbnails showing no spacebar and that was on v5.2.3.144.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

That version just showed up for me. downloading and I'll have a look..

They're changing things around; we can't really blame them for that.

Edit: ok sorry, that first coffee didn't kick in yet it srems: I've been on 5.3.0.124 for a while, so what I thought was an update today in fact wasn't.

But to try to andwer your question again: you might only have to change your themes version number {from 2 to 3} in the 2 (main and resource folder - so 8 files really) style.json files and within the themelist.json.

If that still doesn't work, look and read my posts from a couple weeks back where Ive explained all that I've changed when moving to that version.

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Going through old theme files never tried and I guess theBear was right in saying that we can't really know how is going to look until tried on the phone... This example serves as a good reminder.

Too bad because it did look decent on the PC, but it seems that SK doesn't do as good of a job with the smoothing of the stretching. Rectangles do not show this as much, but rounded keys designs will be very limited by this.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Yeah the stretching always is over exaggerated especially with round images. Just 1 pixel off either in your png or with the 9 patch causes ill effects. Really hard to work with round or oval because if it is not a pefect circle it will look way off like in your pic.

I'm sure someone with a degree in design and knows how to use all the features in photo shop can fix stuff like that, but with my limited knowledge i try to steer clear of trying stuff like that anymore. Lol. I actually learned by trying to make icons, i spent hours doing this 1 icon, added all this detail to it but when installed it looked like garbage. I then realized how much was i expecting in a 96x96 image? Better to just keep it simple.

so that phone has very similar specs to my previous phone:

So I'd say it is a hopi device. And all dpi folders seem to the in the tester apk...

Yes that has been the workaround for a couple of my themes for a while... So there might very well be a '.9.png' that didn't like the resizing like I had in mine.. But that's one possibility among others probably.

Later edit: aaagghh! but you have no 9 patch pics in that theme... OK, now that becomes a nice quiz: I'll go check on the PC [emoji12]

Loving all the themes just wanted to know is this based on the latest swiftkey as word predictions are very off if that makes sense
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Yes, that SK version I was released s less than a day ago on my Playstore...

How bad of predictions "off" are we taking here? Bad as you can't write apple by swiping -sorry- "flowing" it 3-4 times? Or is it just slightly off with every other words?

First case, I'd say uninstall and reinstall.

Second case: I'd say turn on the learning from apps (requires you to sign up/in -I believe.. I do not use that myself) and others cloud settings/services that you might need and give it a little bit of time to learn your writing style.
[Android Themes] ogisha:
Hello guys,

Most of the time I'm using Sonny's Lollipop Dark Blue theme.

Several months ago, after SwiftKey changed their theme format, DJ converted the theme but it had the bug - the space bar did not show its pressed look after it was pressed. I was told by DJ that it was the small bug and I should be glad that it was converted. The bug is not crucial for keyboard functioning and will be fixed later.

After several versions the bug persisted. Now, in the latest test version, the space bar totally disappeared. Maybe these two bugs are related and could be solved with one strike.

I hope you could do something about it.

Never the less, thank you very much guys for your hard work.

BTW, I have noticed now that blue colour disappeared from the theme, too.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I think that DJ very carefully mentioned and warned us about possible issues and especially themes' space bars. So give it times still, it will get sorted out...

And BTW @ DJ: I had a peak at that theme and it seems like you've made changes to the lssbStyle (language selection space bar) but did not include any space-time (which is what replaces any spacekey.png now).

So was this forgotten in your batch edit? Theorically, searching for that png, should return almost every theme done like so...

Anyhow, you know all this.., just me curious on how to fix those easily.
[Android Themes] cyberon:
Ok, it's a pity other themers don't do it, normaly i use white material themes, and that black glossy emoji panel looks really out of place. ?

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Lol, well that a simple enough problem to have.

You simply slide the new UI out by swiping your finger over the three little lines over the left candidate (sugestion bar) and to the right.

From there, you either chose the theme tab or access the old settings screen from the settings tab and "more".

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Thanks, I really like how that theme turned out also. Maybe even my favorite.

As for the stripes (the "hub" button as SK calls it -I believe) not being in the center of the suggestion bar, we'll.... there are a couple things to consider here:

1- those 3 stripes are not defined by a png or even an xml within the theme section of SwiftKey. So we would have to (and I won't) hack the rest of SK to move those up/down. Besides, if you look closely at the following pics, what I think is more important is that my candidate buttons are fairly centered vertically in the space left in between the top key row and the rest of the screen belonging to the app you're in.

2- What bugs me a little more is that the vertical position of the text on my candidate keys is slightly high on this theme. BUT, if you compare it with Chrome's text and also all the different text sizes/heights/centering (depending on the length of the suggested words), you can see that words do not seem to be aligned perfectly at their centers. So that is something that I can't fix either.

So it's not a quick and easy fix on this one and there is some trade off/give and take to have between those 3 stripes, the text and the buttons (candidates bgs).

Visually speaking (<- weird choice of words that is), I'd rather keep centered vertically (in order of importance) : 1- the buttons, 2- the text on them and 3- the stripes. But the again, text not centered to stripes look weird, so...

But I will have a longer look at all this again eventually.. I've noticed those alignment problems before while finalizing Chrome, but after trying 3 or 4 set of key_candidates on it, I did not think it was worth rushing this for all my other themes and send more files to DJ at the last minute before his SSK release.

But thanks for noticing and reminding me.

If you want to practice your patch 9 skills; this is a good exercise for you here...

Cheers,

/A
