What colors where you thinking?
Edit
Attached are the downloads.
I have tested the Green and it installed flawless. I did not test the others as the files only had name changes and the xml was modified to match those name changes.
As always Make a backup before applying any ROM or theme. im not responsible for any errors but will help if anything goes wrong.
Download Metamorph from the market (Please try to support the developer buy purchasing the pro version if you can)
I always unzip the files to the /Sdcard/Androidthemes/.
Open metamorph and let it do its checks. Then click on the Pick existing theme. Depending on which file u have downloaded and extracted to androidthemes choose SwypeColor (Of course color would be the color you have downloaded). then click on the SwypeColor.xml The description will popup with the information. Click close then chose apply all. Let it do its magic. When it finishes reboot. When it completes its reboot go to settings>keyboard and language>Check swype and setting swype as input method. When you attempt to use the keyboard it should load.

I left the tracer as the stock cyan blue-ish color thats in it, I didnt really look into changing it.
Honestly I can do any color, would prefer to keep this theme down to like 5 versions right now. So I guess first 5 come first 5 served lol. Check out the link, I will be taking the requests there. http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-themes/6573-swype-1-64-40-9380-theme.html Ill post the 5 here at XDA when they are all completed.
Yes it has full support for everything the Droid X can utilize.
If you post a link to changing the tracer color Ill look into to. Cant do much at my current location due to work. Also kinda lazy atm but more along the lines of work reason not to tho =รพ
Mods: Can the stock Swype.apk be posted? I know the beta cannot but Im not sure about the stock Swype that comes with the DX.
Like a black keyboard and a white keyboard too? It would really help me on my theme.

The black keyboard works awesomly..
On the first boot I got an fc for Google maps, and it appears to have your custom dictionary!
But no big deal its pretty sweet. This should be in the themes sticky!
Ps. The highlights are blue like from the blue espresso theme. Not a bfd.

not sure why it would FC maps maybe just a coincidence. the dictionary is actually from fresh 1.1 I used the apk from there. thats also why the highlights are blue.
I really need to get a dump of all the stock system apks to build from.
edit: ok after looking at the files again I see the files that need to be changed to get things back to green but I dont have time right now before I go to work. ill go through and get a green version going when I get home tonight for all those that dont like blue.
I like the keyboard, and the blue I think looks good with the black keys......
Great work
Niceee.thanks for the skin!....u think u can upload just the stock one just incase any1 of us decides to go back?..thanks alot bro

You could just unzip fresh or any other 1.5 sense ROM, then push the HTC_IME.apk from within it onto you phone.

I would assume so, but haven't tried it. Worst it would do is mess up the keyboard so might want to pull a backup copy of it first but no reason why it shouldn't work just fine.

Did a nandroid tried to apply w/ metamorph and keyboard didn't change at all, oh well.
Dark transparent theme looks great on my Droid. Could you make a black keyboard with white letters too?
Fixed bad .9 patch that made both the dark themes stretch look terrible. I have updated the morphs (same location and file name) and screenshots above. If you applied either dark skin already I suggest downloading again and applying. It looks even better now!

Try redownloading it, sounds like bad download. I just applied it no problem.
I FINALLY got the keyboard to install in /system/app without FC every 3 seconds and managed to get it themed.... woohoo!
I had to install Clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk via Astro first, then I pushed HTC_IME.apk from my PC to /system/app without uninstalling the one I installed via Astro, and then reinstalled it (when I pushed it, it became uninstalled... not sure why). After that, it worked. I'm not sure of the logic behind all this. All I know is now it works!
Tried out the dark with transparent background... worked fine for me. However, I preferred the look of the regular with transparent background for now. Can't wait to see some more themes come out

Nice!!! Glad you got it working! I will post more soon (not tonight going to bed!) Working on changing font color so I can make total black skin as well. I'll be happy to (try) to do any requests!
Sounds great! If you manage to change the text color, I'd love to see a matte black skin with white text and blue accents (such as the orange accents on the normal skin). A glass black could be pretty cool too if it's done right
+1, white letters on black would be perfect
Red Letters on black :0)

i was trying to use the light blue, dark blue , red thing. i cant assign which key i want for a certain color. this is the best i could do.
Does anyone know how to mod the layout to add up,dwn, lft, rght arrows? On page 2 of the number layout, there is 4 blank keys that would be perfect for this. I hate having the arrows on the letter layout like the default, but it would be cool to have them if needed. Any one know?
gonna install the monster energy one, looks cool
For all you Damageless fans out there. I made this clean and simple. I kept it close to stock, but made it 50% transparent and added Damage's logo on the spacebar. Later I'll be making a black transparent Damage keyboard.

I figured out my issue. I was trying to use Astro to install it and that can't do it for some reason. When I used ES File Explorer, it gave me the option to overwrite the existing keyboard. Thanks for the reply though.
Does anyone else have an issue with the EVO reverting back to the stock unskinned HTC_IME keyboard after a reboot? I find myself having to reinstall my skinned version everytime I reboot the phone.
What about a black and blue?
I have here, a pink HTC keyboard. This keyboard features white letters on nice, pink keys, with the function buttons being black, to sort-of stand out from the rest. Upon request, I will make the function buttons pink, too, just ask!
Screenshots, installation instructions and much more located on my website: Pink HTC Hero Keyboard
Download is attached! As well as a screenshot!
Someone with photoshop experience,
is it possible to copy or save a layer adjustment, and apply it to different files, or do I need to make the adjustment manually for each image?
You can always save the layer then open and drag a copy of it into your picture then flatten it so its one layer.

That's right! I am currently working on making a pink keyboard for all you Hero users. Guys who do this for their wives' phones, this might be something the woman will like! I'm currently working on it, and so far this is where I am at (fires up ddms):
The attachments are below for the screenshots. Keep in mind I am still trying to figure out where the rest of the buttons are, and I am probably going to have to edit all 235 images to get this working (it's a little less, but still...) lol.

Sorry guys, I couldn't come up with a catchy title.
Anyway, what I am looking for is basically the stock rom, but instead of red presets etc...I would like them blue. Not like the Gala X theme, but Royal (ish) blue? Nothing crazy, just anywhere there is red, change it to blue. Can anyone help me with this?

Even with everything I have on my plate, im really getting motivated for this blue idea. I might start on it today, if possible. Send me a pm of all the detail your looking for, status bar, drop down menu, home icons or LP, everything you can think of. run around to different themes and tell me all your likes and dislikes. The more I have to work on the quicker i can pop it out. The droid does swype will be included with dark blue,

BTW this is going to be on the latest leak .15 which is also going to be the OTA
