Thanks so much man :)

Last question: Do you know anything about spacing? Like, each lines indent? I noticed yours has 2 spaces more with each line. Is that standard?

meaning the gap between the keys ? there is no "standard" actually, i found a balance which seems pleasant to me, that's all :)
i've drawn themes with thinner gap, and others even without buttons :) so just do as it looks good to you ;)

note : think about low-res devices : if the gap is too big, the buttons will be too much thin, and the result could be ugly.



by the way, Cyril, is there a way to include ldpi pictures in the zip, like we can already do for hdpi with the drawable-hdpi folder ? i know the android sdk support it, but it seemed not to work in smart keyboard last time i gave a try.

No, I mean the gaps, or indents, before lines in the XML. You have to spaces more for each line down. That the standard? Or can you just press tab?

oh, sorry. it's a easier to read with tabulations, like in every markup, scripting or programming language,but you're not forced to follow it. any software would read it, with or without them.

You know, it'd be interesting to create a skin optimized for 3D displays... once more phones then just the EVO 3D/Optimus 3D have them.
Skins
glowkey (multiple colors & two styles): http://bit.ly/mszole
MIUI_black (webOS skin, three different styles): http://bit.ly/kVRwdt

Hello
Can these skins be built on your computer and loaded into the emulator via the desktop?? Everytime I try to load to the emulator it is telling me no projects are found. I would really appreciate any help..

You have to create an sdcard for the emulator via command prompt, then manually push the skins to it. I can't remember exactly what you have to type, but when I get back in town I can find out unless someone else answers before me :)

Hi there,

is it correct that there is no way to change the background color of a selected word in the suggestion bar?
It seems to be always orange, but it would be really cool to modify it.
