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



Regular version

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          2878 Oct 21 18:02 meegotouch-keyboard-function-key-disabled.png
-rw-r--r--    1 user     root          3045 Oct 22 20:33 meegotouch-keyboard-function-key-pressed.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
