Create your own skins

[macieellia2007]

Confused how this works? Is this where u can change the color and spacing of the keys thru background. Like ultra keyboard has u can make ur own skins with color changes and spacing between keys thick or wide. Is this something that this does. I don't use ultra keyboard anymore due 88 developers unresponsiveness to fix bugs but this was a feature that was nice he u don't find any skins on via Market to use. This option also had fading for the keys and background shading. Could u look at his and copy it to use with ur app

I need some help here.. (sorry for my english)
I had the idea to apply some effects to the images provide with the ''Android sample skin'' without change size or name.
But when I add the .zip to the skin folder I had a full black skin with white letters like the ''Black'' default one, without any of my images...
What else must change of what must do for make this skin funzional???
Thanks

What is the best android on the market for t-mobile currently? Hey I've been thinking of upgrading to an android phone in the near future. I do like having a physical keyboard but if typing on a touch screen works well enough i wouldn't mind using that instead. I've noticed that the nexus one's specs but I'm not sure I want to spend 500 dollars on a phone unless its a big improvement over the others. What would you recommend?

Okay, I was able to get the Draw 9-patch to open up, but I am certainly lost as this is my first time using it. What I am curious about is, do I create the button or key in a normal program such as photoshop or some other image editing software and then upload it in the draw 9-patch program or how exactly do you edit and make your own type of buttons? I'm definitely interested in learning this.

If I understand the first post, draw 9-patch program is supposed to just add the extra pixels needed or whatever such as the transparent and black pixels.

Any tutorials on this would be highly appreciated, maybe something a little more in depth to editing or creating an actual button. I definitely would love to know. Thanks!

Does anyone know of a video or something that shows how to go about making a button? I would highly appreciate any information on this because I am pretty confused.

How exactly do I extract the sample skin into Eclipse?

I'm sorry. I haven't done this before

You don't need Eclipse, it's just a zip file with a xml and some images...

Hi all,

I'm encountering a small issue... When I click one of my keys, the text color is white, instead of black as I wrote in the XML file... Maybe I missed a node ?? has anyone the same problem ?
