Neo Keys for iPhone 2.0.x [WinterBoard]
by gaurav on Aug.15, 2008, under iPhone
here.. it.. is.. i’ve finally managed to finish this mod.. all the keyboard images have been modified and i really like the way it has come out.. 
this mod is absolutely necessary if you have NeoTech as the system font on your iPhone.. the default keyboard just looks wrong.. this one.. just right..
i’ve included all the keyboard types. standard, azerty, qwertz and qzerty..
the phone number pads will be released later on as an update.. i don’t have a timeline for that as yet..
i do plan to make NeoTech mods for all the artwork on the iPhone including the dialer and other stuff.. this will happen gradually as WinterBoard does not currently support *all* the artwork.. i’m sure that Saurik is working hard to change that though..
i would like to thank Saurik for making WinterBoard happen. otherwise i would never have done this mod. somehow extracting, editing and packaging .artwork files seems like a lot of work to me..
all in all.. i hope you enjoy using this theme just as much as i did making it..
bugs if any should be reported in the comments..

Thanks man. You are really knocking them out of the park. Is there any possibly of you making a black keyboard as well?

@Grim Santo: yes i will make a black keyboard when i replace my other artwork to be black. i haven’t found a good enough replacement yet.. i’m sure a perfect replacement can be made now thanks to WinterBoard.

I just think that the fonts are a little bit to bold.. I mean, some of the typos look to ‘fat’, the typos could have been more light, like everywhere else.. but that’s absolutely not disturbing at all … like I said.. Good Job !!!

HI
Thank you for good work , I can’t use it for Iphone 1.1.4

Excellent, thanks a lot! I think it looks great. One question though:
after applying the theme and rebooting the iPhone, the text of my dock icons became gray (instead of white). The only thing I did was apply the theme. Is there anything in the theme that could impact the color of this text?

@CarlosLuz: oh that’s because i used the default Info.plist file for WinterBoard themes..
you can ealisy get rid of the color change by
1. connecting to your iPhone using WinSCP or Fugu.
2. navigate to the folder /Library/Themes/Neo Keys.theme.
3. double click on Info.plist to edit
4. edit these lines
<key>UndockedIconLabelStyle</key>
<string>/*font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px;*/ color: white</string>
<key>DockedIconLabelStyle</key>
<string>/*font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px;*/ color: grey</string>
to this
<key>UndockedIconLabelStyle</key>
<string>/*font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px; color: white*/</string>
<key>DockedIconLabelStyle</key>
<string>/*font-family: monospace; font-size: 13px; color: grey*/</string>
5. Respring
i’ve updated the archive as well.. the change does not take place now.
