[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I've tested a bit more, and you're right, even with just English selected, some Chinese suggestions are still showed. I did not test/compare with the official SK kb though and to be honest, although it is a very strange behavior, it doesn't bother me too much as in both languages, sometimes words from the other (not selected language) are needed so it's good that they're shown. Swiftkey are proudly saying in their app description that their kb is "seemlessly" giving you appropriate suggestions when using 2 languages. In fact, this issue is even worst when using French and English because in that case, there is no extended suggestion screen like in Chinese and always have only the 3 candidates on top. So you get 1 or 2 words in English and/or 1 or 2 in French - which is quite limiting the helpfulness of those suggestions...

And no clue on why SSK would behave differently than the official SK with all this. Are you sure that it's not because it needs some times after a fresh installation to acquire/store some of you selected words [and then show them -even if it should not]?

Well that is a serious bummer!!

I've just downloaded the last stable release and the very first theme I've looked into didn't have anything set to define both the composing popup background or the text color on it.

I've flagged all this about 6 months ago [ http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58584992&postcount=2972 ], but I guess that it slipped through the cracks...

But keep in mind that for many of the SSK themes, the original theme designers are no longer participating here or updating their themes. So it basically has been up to DJ to fix the messes created by the various SK changes. So we have to be grateful that the themes are in the (good) shape they are now and realize that this might be the last thing left to fix -sadly.

So thinking of an easy fix...

The background is a bit more problematic as its color should match the rest of the theme and it's a pain to go through all of them and find that for each one. So maybe, a unique and more neutral color could be used for all of them... [Btw: there is also a "handwriting" ID that uses such a background - I don't think it is in use yet, but once handwriting is supported, it will need this exact same issue so might as well add it in at the same time - I have mine set the same:

"background": {
"normal": "background.xml",
...
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]"composing_popup": "composingpopup_background.xml"[/COLOR],
[COLOR="DarkOrange"] "handwriting": "composingpopup_background.xml"[/COLOR],
...

].

As for the composing text, same thing: if all the missing composing backgrounds are set to a neutral color, will it show all text color well? Will the white and black show properly? Otherwise, we could always leave the backgrounds as they are (non-existent) and try to use a bright color that would show on most app background - like I did for a few of my themes (see pics)

Nevertheless, again this is a real bummer and it will take quite some time and effort to sort out and fix. DJ has some magic skills and some batch edit tools that might help, but let's see what the master says as the above is pretty much all I can do to help for now.

Thanks for reporting.
