Thanks for this info, it was very helpful.

The new swype is a big improvement for theming-

New version keeps most images inside res now.

Only a couple of keyboard buttons to edit (needs .9.patching), should speed things up.

Trail colour is inside the colors.xml

res/values/colors.xml

<color name="trace_color">#b2ffa200</color>

A lot easier than hex editing

The above changes could be a big step towards supporting themes.

<color name="key_text_color">#ffffffff</color>

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but judging by the name and the display of the keyboard this should be the value to edit.

Here's the full color.xml for anyone intersted:
