change color of touch keyboard?

Is there any way to change the color, or skin the Touch Keyboard? I've applied a blue theme and was just curious.

I haven't done it myself but it looks to be pretty simple. All of the graphics for the keyboard (on the Sprint Touch at least) appear to be located in your \Windows folder. Pull them from your Touch and edit them on your desktop with whatever graphic editor you choose and then send the updated graphics back to Windows.

Just remember to keep a copy of the original graphics -- completely (pardon the pun) untouched so that if something goes wrong or you decide you don't like it you can easilty go back to original graphics.

You may need to use a file explorer like Resco or Total Commander to replace the keyboard images...I'm not sure. You'll also most likely need to soft-reset before the new color scheme appears.

I didn't do a search on the forums, but it's also quite possible someone wrote a small app to let you swap out keyboard graphics/layouts...look around and see what you find.

As I've been playing with my Touch for the past month or so I've decided I don't like the HTC keyboard(s). I'm a big fan of the Cootek TouchPal and PocketCM Keyboard (a simple search will pull several threads around here and a Google search on either term will probably bring up their websites as the first result).
