Yeah it's somewhat strange that only a dark and grey is included and no white, fingers crossed that a white version is created. I too dont like all the accents on the keys, so cluttery , shame there isn't a feature to turn them off instead of a theme w/out them.

I really love your carbon Theme but i don't love holo blue......if you can explain to me how can i change that color, you can make me soooo happy! :)

Great work, however :good:
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I think that you guys should make it a weekend project to try removing the "accents on keys" from one theme...

It has been raised a few times, so here's a quick how-to (again):

In the theme folder of your choice (not a "*_resources" one) get a style.json file out of one of the 4 dpi folders. Open it up, and go to the bottom half of it where key styles are located and look for the "baseStyle":

Now you see that attribute called " text_style_top"? Well that is what drives the text styling of your 'accents on keys'. There's one in that baseStyle for the regular letters and also one in the functionStyle for basically just the ",!?" text above the coma key.

So, there's no guarantee that the theme will look perfect just erasing stuff without re-centering letters, but if your wish is only to get rid of those, all you have to do is follow the code:

for base keys, text_style_top calls for "text_top". So scroll up and find it:

Now, just make "color":"#505050“ transparent: by adding 2 zeros in front:

"#00505050“.

Save, copy that json file into the 3 other dpi folders, replace themes folder back in the apk and sign it. Done!

So in the end:

just a bit of file moving/copying add 2 zeros to one file and a couple clicks for signing. No excuse not to try...

Thanks.

Well, my screenshots have to be reduced both in size and qualty to be able to post w tapatalk, but the blue I use is no holo blue nor cyan either because I can't stand those two colors

[emoji12]

Unfortunately, I cannot please everyone's taste here, so I chose to first make my themes to my liking and match the rest of what I've themed on my phone.. But anyway, justification is not the point here.. but once you'll be able to get it, pull al_carbon_fiber folder out and same drill: look in the style.json file and search for "0096ff" color code which is the blue is use. For blue icons and ".9.pngs", you have yo learn/do a little photo editing to change them. But if every change was possible through color codes, it would be too easy...

[emoji12]

Anyhow, play around, learn and try... you might soon become the one we wait for to get our theme love from..

Enough SSK typing from me here for today...

I just released updates to my CM themes last night and got this in the a.m. I hope this was just coincidence....but I think they might be following me....."I see strange things" [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji39] [emoji39] [emoji39]

Oh and Google too...wake up to Google plus updated...been theming it a month and got it perfect...it updates and EVERYTHING is broken again....[emoji19] [emoji21] [emoji24]

Sorry had to vent a little lol

Sigh

Ya I'm losing it lol

So I'm on it guys I haven't forgot you oh and jaggyjags is back on his thread fixing his themes and I have permission to use his once he's finished too so not only me and the few devs here are working in this update. Here's a puppy [emoji190]

See ya soon

Yo!

I feel bad for you man. Just reading about those updates gives me a headache, so I can imagine the pain if they actually were on my planned to do list...

I think that you should untick the SK notifications options; it would at least save you that nagging...

Good news about JJ's stuff.

No sweat on update: take your time man. Have some medicinal herbs infusions/inhalation and some high content food preservative sprinkled cheese flavored corn chips.

[emoji12]

On a positive note, I think that I have figured out a way of keeping my quasi-transparent keyboard backgrounds and avoid multi-layering with the Chinese expanded candidates screen. Fingers crossed for testing on this tomorrow..

[emoji120] [emoji92]

Nice puppy btw[emoji1]

Much better than those annoying ones:

Do you guys think RRO Theming would be possible for SwiftKey?

[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I think so. Can you access assets folder with layers? If so then yes. There is no need for decompiling, you can just extract the assets folder and modify or create themes through there.

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Dang! I found an even easier way in the default Light theme. Right there at line 15 of that theme's style.json:

That defines the background of the bottom half of my screenshot (not on beta here and value shown not the one in use obviously).

So that means that the new UI, I'll have to kiss goodbye to (high level of) transparency behind all those extended candidates buttons (suggestions).

But at least, I will not have to touch the main kb's background transpatency level or have to add in new pressed/unpressed buttons for those like I expected to...

Anyhow, goodnight for real this time.

I added the themes in the latest stable version and after sign with zipsigner opening SwiftKey keyboard crashes. No problem with previous versions created by me. Someone has managed to add themes?
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Not going to work. There is a new default theme- carbon, causing it to crash. New layouts too.

LEGALIZE IT.

Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Adding themes was easy; it's removing default themes that gave me trouble... Read more below...

Yep, I usually leave Default (Light) and Nickel in, but that didn't work this time. So I tried also leaving the new Carbon in and it then worked just like before. But Carbon neefs its resources from stardust or which ever one is in this screenshot:

So I'm done "porting" my 4 news themes for the new UI. It took quite some time because of what's described above, trying to find a transparency level for the extended window and also the fact that I've figured that DJ will have more than enough to do, so I did all 4 dpi folders each.

4 themes + 2 resource folders x 4 dpi x ~30 files each... you do the math!

Not perfect, but here's the new extended window look for now:

I will do my older themes another day...

Cheers,

/A

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

And here's in more details what I did in case you still have problems:

- changed all version numbers to 3 (theme folders, resources folders and themelist.json);

- added in the spacebar logo attribute (branding_color_filter) and the relevant xml with transparent colors [just in case they ever put that logo back to all themes];

- added the "extended_candidate_window" attribute in with a semi-transparent value ("d7151515" in my case);

- replaced the icon_shift.xml (on resources folder) with the new 3-state one + renamed and redesigned/added 2 of the 3 sift pngs;

- redirected the "extendedCandidateStyle" to a new background attribut to a new xml (and new key_extended_normal.9.png) so that my unpressed state buttons on that window are lighter;

And that's about all I can remember...

I still don't like the new UI and especially the extra clicks (and lag/delay) required to change the kb layout. Still find it stupid to place that hub button over the suggestions bar as I keep pressing the left candidate instead of that button.

And I don't know how long its going to take me before I stop long pressing that 123 button...

Someone can make a full black (for amoled) with white symbols theme??
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
You went through all the existing SSK themes already and couldn't find one like such? Surprising to say the least...

On the OP, 5th screenshot: looks pretty black to me; ok upper characters are a little darker than white, but nothing that you couldn't try to fix yourself...

Read back, I think that I explained how to deal with those just a day or two ago. It was to make them transparent, but for white the color code would be "#ffffff".

[emoji6]
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
OK, I wanna say that I'm sorry that I've monopolized the thread so much lately with my long posts and all and I hope I didn't bug you guys too much.

I also want to say thanks back to you guys for all the great feedback, help (special mention to the theBear for his popup.9.png resizing work that saved me quite some time this weekend) and thank hits you guys gave me - thank you.

Now, I'm all done updating my 9 SSK themes and I will quiet down, but two "quick" last things to close this weekend:

1- to make amend of all my recent bugging, I'll share with you the update files of one of my new themes sometimes tomorrow. I know some of you will easily make themselves an updated apk with it, for the others, well, you'll have to wait for the next update or start to slowly read the thread backwards and see if you want to take a try at it for yourself or not;

2- to be honest, I updated my themes mainly to be new-version-ready for the future SK updates, because well.. you've probably read my itsy-bitsing about the new UI lately. It took me 10 minutes last night to switch back to the previous version. Especially after being blinded by the new bright slide out settings screen a couple times. So I have to give credits to SK for at least making it easy for themers to changes things easily. Themers will be happy tweak many bugger items without even touching layouts, styles or even pngs. Here's a peek at my rush job/first quick pass with only 6 or 7 colors changes:

And that concludes our programing for this Sunday.

ShoW-er time!

I've changed some blue color in new AL carbon theme.....soon i will change all blue icons because i don't like blue color :)

I noticed that transparency is not present in every app .... for example when writing from tapatalk, transparency is not there.

It's normal?

The same thing happens with all the transparent themes.....also when typing from whatsapp....

Maybe there are some settings that i don't know?

However, this Carbon theme is pretty nice.....one of my favorite together to #2 TBO and many others from all amazing themers :good:

God bless SuperSwiftkey [emoji7]
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
It's transparent, you are typing in a light themed app. That's how it will look on a light bg.

LEGALIZE IT.

Mattias Duarte ruined android. Material design sucks.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Good. The black language popup can replace the key_popup, you can redirect resources to use th AL#2 TBO one. And also the few blue icons left in the main folder with the ones from #2TBO: no more blue.

[emoji12]

Like bear said, the transparency of the keyboard background never changes; it's actually the app's background (or what it is set to..) that you see through.

[emoji12]

Nope! But you can always make the background always look the same by modifying the background.xml with a solid color if that wd work better for you..

Thanks, glad you like them.

edit: obviously it is - silly me.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:

Hi, I had that public.xml problem and I believe it is caused by the malformed .9.png files. May I ask if you are sure that the .9.png files had no problems? :)

You need to sign the apk then. :)

Yeah, I'm an idiot, missed the part in the OP instructions about signing it in my excitement this morning...stupido!
[Android Themes] twilightvanquisher:
I resized the .9.png files in photoshop, it didnt give me any problems, but it could be whats causing the public xml problem. do those images HAVE to be the size that was specified a few posts ago?

Was gettin some Amazon appstore error when opening the program for the first time, but it seems to run okay now. I guess each time there's an upgrade we have to decompile it.

Looks fantastic though! Much better than the original skin, at least on the Honeybread theme. Thanks so much!
[Android Themes] JokerAce:
The sizes were base on the originals of swiftkey. And .9.png files cannot be edited on photoshop. You need a .9.png editor which can be found in Android SDK and you need a compiler and sorts, at least thats what I found online. Having said that, without the skills, these "tools" I have is absolutely redundant.

[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Ignore the -v4 suffix.

Rename drawable-hdpi-v4 to drawable-hdpi and proceed as in the instructions. I think the one in the Amazon app store is different than the market one.

Well... I know that I've said that I'd quiet down, but there's quiet thread and dead quiet like this is now... So 2 maybe useless observations from some testing I've done:

1. ever thought of using a detailed pic as keyboard background? Well, think again.. You can do it, but, as it had to be expected, the picture will stretch vertically depending on the kb size and layout you use (if you display numbers row and arrow keys). But what's worst is that the pic won't shrink for smaller layouts (small key size, undocked/compact mode or even in landscape) [don't mind the look, this was just as a test]:

And no matter if it is a .9.png or not.

So you'll end up having to use a pic that is no taller than the worst case (smallest kb height) and it's going to look awful when it will be stretched out for even normal portrait usage.

2- I haven't really spent more time on the quick settings colors yet, but one quick test I did was to check if it'd work with semi-transparent bg. So don't mind the general look again, but here's what I've got with the same bg value as for the extended candidates window:

And that's it for now.

[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I've only found the dark version (just quick look into tgis really), but to teduce the size of the font, try this:

find the key_base_normal.xml and key_base_pressed.xml files- they should like like this:

<layer-list>
<item
left="2dp"
right="2dp"
top="2dp"
bottom="2dp">

<shape shape="rectangle">

<corners radius="3dp" />

<solid color="#263238" />

<padding
left="5dp"
right="5dp"
top="5dp"
bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Try changing all those "5" for 8s let's say. [Haven't played with my xml keys for a while, but if that doesn't do it, it's the 2s...].

[emoji40]

But do change both files to have same padding. Copy over your w new files to all other dpi folders, theme folder back in apk, resign apk. Start again with different value as needed.

Easy enough?

No I never edited the apk itself, I added it to my themes so it's not included in SSK but my theme users will have it themed by default. Users can edit it themselves if they choose like users have been but I'm not adding it. Trying not to decompile the apk.

Sonny and a few others have already added the theme code..I can share the xml's if anyone wants to self theme it.
