You're 2 things....crazy and amazing lol. I spent 6 hours straight updating my Sprite theme for CM12 and man I'm beat. I'll work on this soon but not tonight. I have a few other things to finish first. This will help a ton thank you!
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
well if I wasn't crazy before that, I'm definitely a bit more now...

?

And be careful: it all starts with being picky... hehe.

My last change on the bars mafe them to stretch a lit more vertically. I kind of prefer the height of the last screenshot (that was medium size), but then I convinced myself not to change the zip 72 patch 9s again thinking maybe some themes have tall side arrows...

I left some folder as x_resources to remind you that the original spacekeys for those weren't in the main folder.

I might also have left the ios theme(s) with a press color (unpressed were fully transparent) so I don't know what is better or what wss tge intended design...

OK enough of this illness for today here too.

Still done only on the phone?

Not bad if it is.

I had an hour to waste.., here's what I could come up with:

edit: and blue text color is off blame that on my kids that broke my monitor hdmi cable and partly screw up my gpu...
[Android Themes] syverman:
Yeah, still on the phone, need to wait until next week to get my new pc.

Your theme looks really great, better than mine. ?
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
thanks,

new PC always exciting time... you must be biting your nails.

For this theme's design to work, you need and vertical gradient in the background and about 6-7 pixels padding on the keys sides and 10 on top/bottom (if I remember correctly).

Anyhow, it was a quick test and will observe DJ's theme freeze for a bit....
[Android Themes] syverman:
Can't wait to get my hands on it and install it ubuntu gnome, i miss all the goodies. Keeping windows just for some flashing and repair of my phone.

Thanks for the tips

Can you please share your key_base_normal.xml, i can't make it to look like it supposed to look.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I would, if I had one... I have a pc and I prefer designing stuff with pictures...

But if you look at any xml key, when you see this:

<item

left="2dp"

right="2dp"

top="3dp"

bottom="2dp">

..

that is what insert space between the imaginary max frame size of the key and the item defined after (square, stroke, gradient, etc.).

When it is written "padding", that is actually leaving space from the same max size but for things like icons and text.

So I told you 6 and 10 pixels (xhdpi) and 1dp = 2 pixels. So you'll need:

<item

left="3dp"

right="3dp"

top="5dp"

bottom="5dp">

for the outer most layer which is usually the bottom shadow. Then the next layer above would have a smaller area and you'd have to add to those values. For example, choosing bottom="6dp" for the next layer, would leave 2 pixels of 'shadow' at the bottom, but superposing the rest if you leave the other values unchanged ...

Edit:

here in picture how the default theme base key is drawn [sorry for the bad quality; had to resize..]
[Android Themes] mjoha:
Nice, if you should give that theme to DJ when he say ok to more theme, i have a wish that you waste the language name on the space bar. And not so big black enter, shift, 123 key, delete key, it look better with thin black line like it is in the original theme.
[Android Themes] DavidEUS:
It would be a Fleksy theme in black?

[Android Themes] Chikko:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but mine wasn't ask an eta, but was an ask if there was a link or not, because pages go on and the op seems not updated.

Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
OP does get updated when it needs or is ready to. Pages go on, but some don't read them also it seems...

There have been less than 4-5 pics (a couple pages) about that theme posted and no attachments or confirmation that the theme was finished anywhere; so why expect the OP updated or a link to it?

And within that time frame, there have been at least 3 posts mentioning that we should stop new themes for a while to leave DJ a breather in fixing all the issues with the existing ones (and he's also the one updating the OP now).

So it makes sense I think, that some see it as demanding - eta implied or not. Besides, an eta is relative to time; asking for a link is even stronger as it's asking for where?

What is more bothersome for me I think is that themers like to show their work. But if every time someone post a screenshot [and specifically say: this was a first test], we get bombarded with where is it/how do I get it, well, no one will want to show pattial works anymore. And that will be a lost for everyone because designers will miss valuable input from other members.

So, a another AL's long post here.. but I don't want you to feel targeted here: please don't take it the wrong way...

But let's just hope that this post serve as a general reminder.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

Was partial work. Suggestions noted and a couple already in testing...

Language on spacebar: it will disappear when only one language is in use... But yes, I could try to make that text transparent since arrows would still be there. And/but the app itself is applying an annoying filter to it already so no clue if possible in the end... I'll give it more thought into it - thanks.

"123" text: can't really reduce it much without also shrinking the other -already small- function keys icons.

Edit: even with transparent language text defined, the app colors it gray. So, not possible - too bad!

[Android Themes] tonyafc:
Im on the last stable version not the testers is it possible to add this theme to that version or does the dev add the themes to next build?
[Android Themes] syverman:
DJ is fixing some theme's, so right now we are only showing some work, but I'm sure he will add all the new themes to the lastes stable version that he has at that moment.

Hi, I have some problems, I'm using the latest beta, my phone don't have HD resolution, so there are many issues that do not charge me, there is some kind of solution? I think I mentioned many messages back, but as they were one or two issues, not to worry ... Now there are several.

Greetings and thanks
[Android Themes] syverman:
In what themes are you getting issues, that's the first thing you need to tell, and there is a new update posted by DJ, is the latest stable version with several bug fixed you should try that and see is there still get those issues.

The icon_shift.xml (in resources folder) has now 3 states (since the new UI) and the icon names changed, so you'll have to do a little editing... But at least, she can have a different look for just shifted or caplocked...

I don't want to talk for DJ, but if it was me, I would not include any super beta SK on this thread. I've said that and explained why before and I won't repeat myself. But what exactly stops you from going on the OP and find the link to another thread that explains you how to take the latest themes and move them inside the beta that you like?? No joke, I can do this in less than 3 minutes and so will you once you've done it once....

Ok edit: the link doesn't explain you exactly how to move themes to the beta, but rather how to remove a few from SSK. But it should be pretty straight forward and obvious what's needed in your case. Betas should still be just like the last update.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Thanks al. I'll have to take a look at my themes when i get a chance. Just swamped at work with all the wet weather. Trying to make sure the "crops" don't get saturated. A real headache this year...[emoji41][emoji100]

Maybe, I did teal "Sprite" first then red.

The old beta is now the stable, sounds are now in the non beta and the beta is older then what I just released so go get it! Lol
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah unless they do another theme ui change I don't see the need to do the beta releases but they did change the styles json and theme json this last update so I changed the themes in bulk. If you guys update any existing themes you'll need to look at what I just released to make sure you don't revert those changes. []AL[], Bear, Plunetfunk and a few new ones were already working I thought so I left them alone.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I know a few new themes were added, but i think it is more of a staying up to date update as a lot of users get really preoccupied by thinking the latest is the greatest. Unfortunately this isn't always the case, but it keeps users happy.

[Android Themes] androidmichael:
Is there a way to disable the hamburger button in the prediction area on the keyboard?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Nope. It's part of the new ui. They did away with long pressing the 123 button to get to settings.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
You mean that you would prefer to always exit the app you are writing in to go to the destop or app drawer and launch SK every time that you want to change theme or one of the setting??

But I get why you're asking it: that button is what bugs me the most about that new ui. I wonder if anyone at SwiftKey has ever tried to use it in compact/undocked mode: a real pain to get this going... Even in normal mode, I find myself constantly swiping from the edge 4-5 times before succeeding pulling it out...

Why couldn't they just leave in the 123 btn long press as an option?

Whoever said was part of their official beta testing could ask them the question, I be really thankful.

OK! - end of O-T mini rant... - -

Re. problems loading many of the last update themes:

I have a strange feeling that we might still have a 9-patch resizing issues if so many themes weren't loading up. This awefully smells like the old low-dpi problem....

And since Thebear did successfully resize my problematic files before, I suspect that it is related to which M$ Windows is used to do it.

Why? because in the files that Bear gave, there were some Thumbs.db files in the folders he touched and to me, that screams WinXP....

So could this be all the new spacebars that didn't resize properly?

Anyone with a mdpi device that also had issues? And please, no need to make a list, but give at least one theme name that doesn't work. Thanks.

edit: Lucas' device is hdpi

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
The files i modified for you were done on win8.1 soon to be win 10 i believe. Lol, but i would agree with you that either the 9s were resized wrong or were done with an older tool or program that is not being recognized by swiftkey. It will be a huge task to redo every image in every theme to work correctly. If a list is made of which themes are screwy i'd gladly help out in trying to fix some of them.

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
OK, I remember reading that you had a new rig but wrong guess about where those Thumbs. db files were coming from then. Sorry about that.

As per the resizing again, I'm on Win8 and I've tried just last week to recolor and resize down one of my popup using the resize app you sent me and altgough it successfully resizes the decompiled files (or compiled one as well -I think), I can clearly see that the alpha is off on the resulting smaller patch9s. So it's not compile/decompile isuue; it is something going on w resizing.

Win10: it brings Lollipop to my mind when comes to OS evolution. Nice new flashy additions, yet all more useful and futute-proof technological upgrades one another. But I don't need all that M$ crap shoveled down my___ (you choose most appropriate word) [their App store, cloud services, xbox stuff, and so on... and that list is a long one ...there will be what 200 running processes in a fresh Win10 ibstall?]. Anyhow, I don't wanna sound grumpy and b'ching about everything... end of corporation [nothing to argue with you here btw] rant #2. gg gl gn
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I agree with your sentiment on windows 10, good thing about windows is you can always go back, or so far i have been able too. Hopefully it will not be an issue to gain administrative rights as it was with windows 8 or i don't lose my administrative rights. I'm sure it will take some getting used to, but coming from absolute no computer knowledge (win8 being the only windows i have ever seen) i'm not too worried about the update. I rarely use/see the windows main screen now anyways as i usually just go right into my root c after start up.

I'm presuming here, but since they've been working at some point, it means that it is what has changed that is the problem and that would be just the 2 spacebar pics....

[Android Themes] LucasUruguay:
yes, in the previous version they work without any problem, only Taintless, now don't work all that I tell

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Oh great [emoji30]
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
If you want, I can do one or two more spacebar height tests with regards to the various themes' left and right arrows sizes. Then decide if a slightly less elastic spacebar height (w kb size setting) is possible or not. A little more work into the left side patching. Then , when done, I'd go through the 36 spacebar pairs I gave earlier and resize them all.

I won't commit to the compiling and files replacing in of all the 4 new pairs of keys though - as I'll probably be a zombie by then.. I'd maybe need a day or two to do so properly as well....
[Android Themes] Hunny Boss:
Nice work..

Nice theme for keyboard
[Android Themes] driftinganomaly:
Quite a few people including myself were very vocal about our disagreement with that change, especially with no option to revert it.

By the time it made it to beta testing, the devs had already invested too much time to turn back then. It is another example of their endless chase of making things better for the infamous new users at the end of the rainbow and the Holy Grail.
