Hi guys!

I'm using a W950i and my favorite theme is the uiq.com theme "Lounge".



This one would be perfect if it wasn't for one thing. The virtual keyboard becomes black with black characters when using Lounge! Obviously I'm becoming more adept with writing characters using the stylus, but sometimes the virtual keyboard is just superior.

I messed around a bit with the SE Themes Creator (3.29), but I can't seem to find anywhere to change this in there. Does anybody know ?

Hello

I'm not sure the colour of the keyboard can be changed.

I looked in the PDF file here: http://developer.uiq.com/downloads/public/UIQ3_ThemesCreationGuide.pdf and it doesn't mention it - I was thinking if it was in there you could edit the theme file xml after creating it in the SE theme creator... but perhaps not.

Or open the xml friles from a theme which has keyboard color already changed. Use WinRAR to extract it's files. If Themes creator can't change the color of it, maybe it is html related stuff and can be done by editing the xml files inside the theme.

Hi..

Did you already found a solution for your problem, concerning the keyboard. I encountered exactly the same problem.

Please let me know if you found a solution. Other than that, I think the 'lounge' theme, is the best theme ever.

Thnx!

Sorry, but no, I haven't found a solution. Actually I kind of forgot about it as I've gotten more and more used to just writing with the stylus.

I'll see if I can find anything when comparing xml files come next weekend.

It's the condensed color scheme you need to change for other keyboard colors. This is not a big problem if the theme uses pictures as backgrounds, otherwise it could mess things up,and you'll have to change some more.
Just keep these settings simple (high contrast) and it probably won't mess things up.
Pressed keyboard color and keyboard background for example are set in the second line.
