If I were to create an APK to install the keyboard skin above, where do you want to ZIP file located? Other than the SDcard (see comment above).cyril wrote:There is no process at the moment Do you mind attaching it here at the moment?

Chiclet
Made one, I call it Chiclet. Download:
Right now, I've only finished working on assets for medium resolution displays. I may work on the high-res assets if I can find the time. I'm also still waiting for Cyril to implement bold fonts on the xml file
Note: others may re-use the files for their own themes, provided that they mention "Chiclet, by Zen" on the xml or a link to this thread.
Also, my thanks to Cyril.
Optimized for AMOLED displays, so that there won't be any noticeable color banding or dithering. Recommended: disable alt labels.Right now, I've only finished working on assets for medium resolution displays. I may work on the high-res assets if I can find the time.

Re: Create your own skins
I love your skin zen! How do you install these though? ._.
Edit: never mind, I figured it out. But why does it look different on my phone? It's more grey... and less blue-grey.
Edit2: I'd like it more if the background was like the iPhone theme

Really nice skin! Thanks a lot :) But it's have one bug - see image below. Can you fix upper line of symbols to more readable type? Or its by design?

Re: Create your own skins
Link, this is a great looking skin. Reminds me of ADWone skin, but how do I d/l it and install it?Link wrote:Works great! Just built my first skin and love it. What is going to be the process of posting our creations on your site or in the market?
One issue i have found. Becasue the skins are located on the SDcard, when you mount it to the computer and bring up the keyboard, the skin is gone. Even when you disconnect from the USB it's still gone. You have to set the skin to something else and then back to your custom skin. The app needs to be able to copy it to the phone while it is being choosen or some sort of installation process.

Sadly, most Android phones have different color profiles. Especially HTC with Sense UI phones, they tend to skew the colors more to warmer/reddish tint.Oveja wrote:I love your skin zen! How do you install these though? ._.

Re: Create your own skins
I see the difference now that I'm viewing the image on my phone. I guess the AMOLED displays colours different than the Pc. But I still think this grey colour is kinda boring

Re: Create your own skins
I'm sorry, I'm unclear. To install one of these custom skins, do I have to do the steps in the OP, or was that meant for skin designers only? If someone can clarify, that'd be great.

To use the custom themes: Create a folder (directory) named skins in your SD card and place the downloaded .zip files there. You can use a file manager (such as OI File Manager) to do this. No need to extract the .zip content. Afterwards, the themes will appear in the SK preferences View for you to choose from.
