Just letting you know, that horizontal gradients work as long as it is the same in all the popups. Ex. If you take a tri-color flag, like the germany or netherlands flag. (I used photoshop to make the popups) It works fine, no stretching or slight misaligning. If you use a vertical flag like france, it messes with stripes.

Right on. I might be misusing the term horizontal gradient.
This is what I meant by a vertical one...
The France flag prob is the change in color horizontally.
Pain in the butt either way...

I uploaded a ck theme to the repo two nights ago and got the accepted email at 11am ET yesterday 8/8/11. It has been over 36 hours and it hasn't been uploaded to cydia yet. I haven't seen any uploads from the modmyi repo today.

Yeah, that's what I call Alternate Popups for ease at least, and there is definitely no way to theme them for now. Another themer I helped ended up contacting the CK developer about this, and was basically told it can't be done for now and it didn't seem likely in the future... Too bad as it seems to be the only flaw with the tweak that just has no work around.
Good luck with all else and ask any questions necessary!

@Hasiphone you can also theme the number pad in WB when your in a call (say when you call a 1-800 number and then hit the dialer button to enter touch tones). For my lock pad I overlaid an image and then started to make it more transparent, this softened the gridlines considerably. My theme is the MarioBrOS theme if anyone wants it - I did a complete overhual of just about everything (though not all is automatic yet). For strings files to status badges, to a watermark for the notes app it's all there! (or soon will be got a few more updates planned). But honestly I know most of the locations for 4.2.1-4.2.7
@hckyxc, Ok one HUGE thing I just found out with modmyi and repoing is that you CANNOT name your screenshots 1.png, 2.png or w/e they CAN be a.jpg, b.jpg, etc. If you just number them screwy things happen (kyle matthews told me this and I experienced it myself) So make sure you didn't do that than contact kyle matthews (just search for his postings to get to his user page) and tell him what's going on with your package. (he's also the person who messaged you when you got the acceptance message.Last edited by VerizonIphone4_help; 08-11-2011 at 11:18 AM.

Huh, guess it might be language setup difference but I don't get an Alt Pop for "S" key. This is what I'm talking about (I think it's the same thing):
These are the images, though I've done comparatively little testing with using WB for popups, that may be possible:
Named from left to right:
kb-accented-left-grabber.png
kb-accented-mid-grabber.png
kb-accented-right-grabber.png
kb-accented-tube.png
I did play around a bit with no luck, but hard to say with iOS variations...

If you're talking about the key "foregrounds", It looks like he's using the BG image method. If you're not familiar with it yet, and have the means to create the entire keyboard in Photoshop or like program, that method allows far more versatility than the hex code colors alone...

Could somebody please help me? I have my CK ready but I have a problem with my plist. I tried to make all keyboards for my theme, edited the .plist to achieve the desired result, but now my alternate letters in the pop-up are totally transparent
Could somebody please help me with that? What did I do wrong??
