[Keyboard] Transparent Keyboard

Here's a little keyboard mod I did.
It's based on the thought of Plizzo.

Credits to:
Plizzo for the idea
&
cyrusthevirus for uploading the keyboard ui and finding to two bugs.

***Download***

Have fun with it big_smile
Here are some screenshots (Sometime the background looks just black. This depends on the app.):

So far,
Jimmy

If you do it without the opaque bottom you get a few problems.
You can get rid of this problem by making seperated version for iPod touch and iPhone:

But this error will still be there:

I don't think there is way to fix that... smile_cry

Re: [Keyboard] Transparent Keyboard

I'm so sad, the bottom opaque bar destroys the feeling. smile_cry

Jimmy, have you tried taking the buttons and making a black background but then make the background the same transparency as the keyboard background and cut away that peice fron the background?

Sorry if that was hard to understand big_smile

Re: [Keyboard] Transparent Keyboard

I was requesting this a long time ago! I think it looks awesome. smile_thumbup

Could it work in 1.1.4 firmware? I have it installed in 2.0 with winterboard and looks excellent, but i don't know if this could work in previous firmwares (with summerboard may be?), one person who has'nt update yet ask me.

Re: [Keyboard] Transparent Keyboard

I don't think it will work with 1.1.4 because older keyboard themes had to be ported to 2.0 hmm

Re: [Keyboard] Transparent Keyboard

This is the case.. The keyboard wont allow of the bottom bar when  transparent as a winterboard mod. Jimmy fixed the images for an artwork and I repacked them but all we got was a all black background, we now also know that .artworks aren't transparency enabled.. you will have to use the files provided here or just have it all black.. We tried but it wont work hmm

Jimmy, will you be so kind as to package this as artwork for SSH'ing directly into the iPhone? I'd love to have this keyboard without going thru Winterboard.
