Modifying HTC IME Mod keyboard key placement...possible??

Ok, i love the HTC IME mod keyboard...but i really hate how small the space bar is. I am always hitting the period button. I use the the option to swap the smiley/12# button, which places the 12# button on the left side of the keyboard.
my question is...is it possible to modify the keyboard .apk to delete the smiley key on the right side, push the period key to the right where the original smiley/12# button is, and stretch out the space bar? I know it wouldn't be easy, and would probably require creating new key images, but would this be an easy task for an app dev?? Is it possible for me to do it under instruction?
Thanks!
If you have a rooted phone, this can be done.
In the market place, you can download Smart Keyboard Pro for $2, and it allows you to customize the keyboard with other skins, and even removing the smiley face gestures.
If you download it, MENU > LANGUAGE & KEYBOARD > SMART KEYBOARD PRO Settings > GENERAL SETTINGS > SMILEY KEY.
You can enable and disable it, etc.

Also when you have a keyboard showing, there's a little keyboard symbol on the status bar. Tap on that and a list of available keyboards will show up. Chose the one you want.

[How-To] Set Up PC Keyboard Layout With Android Keyboard (AOSP)

How to apply PC layout?

Instead of hijacking the original thread the above question came from, I'll put the instructions in this new one.
The Android keyboard (AOSP) (and the Google Keyboard, I believe) is capable of having a numbers row and being set up to resemble a traditional PC keyboard. For those who are unfamiliar with how to set it up, here's how:
Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Language & Input
Press the settings button to the right of 'Android keyboard (AOSP).'
In 'Android keyboard settings,' scroll all the way down and press 'Advanced settings.'
In 'Advanced settings,' press 'Custom input styles.'
In 'Android keyboard settings,' press the 'ADD STYLE' button on the upper-right corner of the screen.
Choose your Language. Then choose 'PC' for the Layout. Press the 'Add' button when done.
Return to the 'Android keyboard settings' page in step 3. Press 'Input languages.'
In 'Input languages,' deselect 'Use system language' and any other default 'ACTIVE INPUT METHODS.' Select the method that corresponds to the language you previously chose that is followed by '(PC).'
Back out of Settings, and enjoy your PC layout keyboard.
Hope this helps.
Very nice guide, cheers, I was wondering how to get the number keys to show :good:
EDIT - Not a biggy, but it doesn't seem to have changed to UK layout even after following the guide perfectly, the @ symbol is above the 2 and the " symbol is above the right shift key, that is the US keyboard layout, the UK layout is reversed
Like I say, not a big deal, just wondering why it didn't set UK up even though I have it selected

This looks like an oversight/bug by Google:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37166
If you want to try another keyboard with a PC layout, how about Hacker's Keyboard:
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&hl=en
It claims to support 'English/British (en_GB),' and it even includes arrow keys.
I installed the KitKat Google keyboard, but it looked like the PC keyboard has been removed as an option. Can anyone confirm this; or better yet, suggest a workaround?
