			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so i&#8217;ve finally completed this theme to my satisfaction.. looks really fantastic on my iPhone..<br />
you *must* get this keyboard if you have NeoTech as the system font and dark replacements for other artwork.. it goes very nice without the dark artwork as well..</p>
<p>there were some problems initially with images that were exported from Photoshop [i used Photoshop for the batch automation feature], they were all messed up.. then i decided to do the alterations and export manually from Fireworks and that did the trick.. the images came out perfect..</p>

<p>it&#8217;s a hell lot harder to theme a dark keyboard or one that has different colors from the default keyboard as there are many more images that need to be modified.. in case of Neo Keys i had to only modify the images that had text.. this time almost all the images related to the keyboard needed modification.. which was quite time consuming..  and i&#8217;m glad i made Neo Keys in a very systematic way using layers in the PNGs.. it helped me loads to get this darker theme done quick and easy..</p>
<p>if you discover a bug please post a comment, a screenshot of the bug would help me fix it quicker..</p>
<p>cheers..</p>

<p>PS: i had to modify the screenshots in fireworks.. i increased the brightness a bit.. the screenshots and the artwork files look very very dark to the point of making it impossible to distinguish between colors when viewed on the pc. these screenshots is still a bit darker than how it looks on my iPhone.. i have brightness set to around 0.7 on my iPhone.. if you have it lower/higher. this theme will look much darker/lighter respectively..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>here.. it.. is.. i&#8217;ve finally managed to finish this mod.. all the keyboard images have been modified and i really like the way it has come out.. <img src='http://blog.gauravgiri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
this mod is <em>absolutely necessary</em> if you have NeoTech as the system font on your iPhone.. the default keyboard just looks wrong.. this one.. just right.. <img src='http://blog.gauravgiri.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>i&#8217;ve included all the keyboard types. standard, azerty, qwertz and qzerty..</p>
<p>the phone number pads will be released later on as an update.. i don&#8217;t have a timeline for that as yet..<br />
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&#8217;m sure that <a href="http://www.saurik.com/" target="_blank">Saurik</a> is working hard to change that though..</p>
<p>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..</p>
<p>all in all.. i hope you enjoy using this theme just as much as i did making it..<br />
bugs if any should be reported in the comments..</p>
