Holo theme from Openboard

Open hulores opened this issue 2 months ago • 5 comments

Hello, is it possible to get the Holo theme from Openboard on Heliboard, which is the keyboard theme found in Android versions 4.0 and later? I have used that theme for so long that the keys seem different, “bigger or strange” when I use the new themes.

You can set style to holo and set the holo white colors, then the theme is close to the OpenBoard holo white theme

@Helium314 Hello I was also about to open a issue, but think it fits here.

Can you please add a theme that makes it look like classic Holo (blue)? I cannot find such a option currently. I have been using OpenBoard for a while and don't wanna switch to it's successor without it 😄 .

I remember trying to migrate both when redoing the theming, but had some issues with Holo blue requiring special treatment. After more than 2 years without the theme, I think you're the first to ask about it.

So the difference is only the popup and accent colors, and the popup graphics? At least the colors should be simple.

Thanks for reply!

Colors mainly guess. The umlauts OFF and number row ON are configurable in HeliBoard?

Yes, umlauts depends on whether you use German or German (Germany), like in OpenBoard.

I noticed that even the action key color is not that simple, because Holo theme uses semi-transparent images as key background.
