It's a self-made app, not yet released. Have you tried Catch.com? they make pretty decent notes apps (AK Notepad, Catch)

Looks great in portrait mode but kinda looks vertically squashed and simply just not right in landscape mode.

Indeed, that's why the built-in iPhone skin has different images for landscape mode, otherwise it just doesn't look good. However different images for landscape are not supported currently in the skin engine...

Maybe the latest Beta can help. Both key height in Portrait and Landscape modes are adjustable now.

This looks so awesome... would it be possible to make some different color variations? This one is tinted sort of blue-ish, but maybe there could be a reddish one for the droidies, android green, or a hue-less grey version. The design on this is the best I've seen so far! Depressing the keys looks wonderful.

I don't have any plans to re-release this in different colors. But, with a little effort, you can make them yourself though.

All the key files themselves are already tintless and translucent so that they adapt with whatever color the base has. The only thing left to modify is the base container (take a look at bg.9.png file) which you can easily shift its hue or saturation. If you drop the saturation, you'll even get one that looks almost exactly like my other skin Chiclet!

Share yours on this thread so others can enjoy too.

There's an option in General settings; "Show alt labels."

I would like to download this skin. I can find it in Astro, but I don't know what to do from there. Help?

create a folder on the sd card of your phone call it " skins", download cupertino.zip for example, and add it inside the "skins" folder. Load the sd card on your phone and the skins list will include the skin. the skins in the folder always end with ".zip"

Skin looks wonderful.

It has a bug on my DesireHD though. It doesn't show any icons on my shift/backspace/spacebar/enter keys. It shows the grey key itself but theres just no icon or text on the key. The other keys look normal.

Problem persists on landscape BTW.

Just switched to English keyboard language. It doesn't show the speach input icon either.

Also some more info: on the bugged keys: the pop-up version of the keys look normal (the version u see after pressing the key)
