Custom Colored Keyboard Requests

kangol69 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 12:59 AM

I was looking around with the EZInput OEM Folder and started messing with the masks in GIMP and realised it wasn't too hard to change the colours. Someone had already mentioned a pink one for the ladies so here's a quick mock up I did. The finished product would have all three of the keyboards and would be more polished than this. I just wanted see if there's any interest out there.

WOW...
That looks nice....

Can you change the layout?

Or how about the placement of the highlight key (you know, move it up some)?

Thanks! Nah I can't change the layout as far as I know. I don't know enough. I can just muck with the colours because it's fairly easy in a photo editor. Highlight Key? Are you talking about what the key looks like when you're pressing down on it? If so I can change the color of it but not where it appears at. I'm pretty sure the PCMKeyboard has the highlight key above where you press so you can actually see what you're hiiting. Might wanna check that out.

I tried PCM Keyboard, didn't like it.

The HTC SIP is the best, IMO.

That is the htc sip with a modified dll. We need a new modified dll to make this work with ezinput 32437, so the disappearing first letter issue in T9 goes away.

The black one is cabbed up in Calcu's kitchen thread.

I thought PCM Keyboard was a total rewrite this time around, and not a modified dll

I love the feel of the HTC SIP, but I just wish that when I pressed a key, it would show above my finger, you know, so I can see the dang letter!

But now, with colors of keyboards, this could get very very customized!

There's a version that only makes compact qwerty black (no full qwerty), but doesn't cause the disappearing first letter on T9 here:
