[MOD] N9 keyboard themes

Hi everybody

I have not been satisfied by the original look of the N9 keyboard. It looks too "soft" for my taste so I took the task upon myself the other day to skin the keyboard to my liking. Thought I would share my theme here so that those who wants to can install it on their device.

First of all download the .zip with the files from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i1mjpti980...oard_theme.zip

or glossy version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0rk4efey2...eme_glossy.zip

(It's also attached to the thread)

Installation instructions:

Extract the contents of the .zip into /home/user/MyDocs/

so the folder in ~/MyDocs/ will be named N9_keyboard_theme inside which there are 7 images +1 install.sh file +1 default folder

Everything is case-sensitive so be careful.

In terminal as root you will have to do:

sh /home/user/MyDocs/N9_keyboard_theme/install.sh

(or sh /home/user/MyDocs/N9_keyboard_theme_glossy/install.sh if you're installing my glossy theme)

The above will apply the layout (then reboot for it to apply).

If you want to revert to original theme do this in terminal as root:

sh /home/user/MyDocs/N9_keyboard_theme/default/uninstall.sh

SCREENSHOTS:

NEW: Glossy version

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

I got " can't open....."
I used devel-su...

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Hi...

Nice job guys works perfect... It feels good to!
keep up the good work !!!!

Kind Regards J.Neutron

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

I use instruction but dont work.what i do wrong.download and extract in my docs.open terminal,devel-su,root pass than write all but dont work, i get can't open...

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

if it says cant open bla bla it means your extraction isn't correct... Most likely you have a sub-directory of the same name within the main folder like /nome/user/MyDocs/N9_keyboard_theme/N9_keyboard_theme/ which is wrong

Please read the first post's instructions again as well as checking the contents of your extracted folder as dannejanne describes in the first post...

Edit:

The following should be your folder's contents:

Code:

~# ls -l /home/user/MyDocs/N9_keyboard_theme/

total 576

drwxrwxrwx    2 user     root         65536 Oct 23 14:42 default

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          1556 Oct 23 14:36 install.sh

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          9828 Oct 22 22:22 meegotouch-keyboard-background.png

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          3073 Oct 21 19:00 meegotouch-keyboard-function-key.png

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          2878 Oct 21 17:59 meegotouch-keyboard-key-disabled.png

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          3051 Oct 22 20:42 meegotouch-keyboard-key-pressed.png

-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          3261 Oct 22 20:30 meegotouch-keyboard-key.png

Edit 2: To see changes after application or removal you might need to reboot...Of course if you have the "can't open" error it means no amount of reboots will solve it :p

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

ok, i got this... :confused:
and the theme doesnt change

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

thanks.i check again where i extract , put in right place and now it's working.
looks really nice.:D

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

you are using blanco theme right? doesn't work on custom themes...

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

it says "...can't kill pid 4798..."
Something connected with messaging-ui?

Thats my script error...It works on open mode...But it just kills messaging-ui which anyway once you reboot is the same thing...It can be removed from the script and no difference will be there...

Once you get the new theme is applied message you can safely reboot and you should have the new theme...

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

ok trying again

edit: now working, looks like installing when connected to PC

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

He was just being magnanimous by giving me credit for a tiny script!

Not quite sure what you mean with that? Add numbers how?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Ah I think i got him now...He means to say add a row of numbers above the keyboard...No, not possible to do it without writing a new layout...this is a theming mod not a new layout :p

add a line like this

Code:

extended_labels="1"

example "q"

default:

Code:

<key>

        <binding label="q" /> 

        <binding shift="true" label="Q"/>

        </key>

custom with "1"

Code:

<key>

        <binding label="q" extended_labels="1"/> 

        <binding shift="true" label="Q"/>

      </key>

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

superjunior so that means the number row comes above the qwerty row?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Sorry, no. It is for long press like German Umlaute "ä, ö, ü" . You can add what you want.

Ohhh, sorry. My English is terrible ;)

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Or that you can longpress to get numbers?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

/usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts/your language.xml

I know it´s my Bad but this Thread is only for "theming" not for new keyboardmaps.

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

well maybe you and dannejanne can works together around this keyboard mods, imo keyboard are the most viewed elements on a phone right?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Can i add a cutom botton for ctrl+c and v? whats the command?:)

Thx superjunior btw for your layout.
Edit: or even better just button för ctrl if that would work.

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

Anyone know why left/right/up/down button can't use in conversation? And how to fix it...

Here my style :P
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...2_21-58-59.png

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

It works and looks awesome! :)
P.S Maybe think of adding a soft blue color on it? Anyway, it looks awesome!

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

mine work in conversation

edit: no they dont:p

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

is it possible to apply this keyboard theme for N900 too?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

location of files to change the font color please?

Re: [MOD] N9 keyboard theme

efion,

Code:

[Keyboard]

;This constants are required for the input method



FONT_KEYBOARD= "Put your custom font name here" normal 3.2mm;

FONT_KEYBOARD_TOOLBAR= "Put your custom font name here" bold uppercase 2.0mm;

FONT_COLOR_KEYBOARD= #FFFFFF;

Change the color for the line in bold

File location: /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/constants.ini

Usual caveats of reboot for changes to be effected apply :D
