If you have ever searched for open source keyboards, you might have come across OpenBoard. But that project hasn't seen development in more than an year. Thankfully, there is a fork of it that is being worked upon quite actively. It already supports autocorrect, glide typing, user-defined dictionaries, multilingual typing and now material you themeing as well.

Material You is the thing that changes colors based on your background? And people like that? I hate that. It made everything a gross puke color for me when I had a nice background of some trees. That screenshot has an unpleasant red tint.

You can customize the colors I believe? At least I can on my s21fe. I like it, gives my a phone a nice refresh every once in a while

I have a OnePlus7T and there seems to be no way to change the colors without downloading a third party app to override it. That might be OnePlus' fault.

I think it is, it is the same thing with MIUI, I wasn't aware Samsung allowed that.

I don't like that, I love that definitely an improvement over A11 visuals (only its QS were better talking about a functionality matter) and this refinement was in order if you ask me (I come from iOS and MIUI was my first Android experience, didn't took so long to go to AOSP and it was... A bit of a downgrade visually talking, especially its app switcher, it was atrocious).

Why I love it is because it now makes sense to change wallpapers lol, and plus with Monet icons you can make a good customized home screen with ease.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why would you love your buttons to turn puke green? Or ugly red like in the screenshot? It made google chat unusably hideous for me.

I just really emphatically do not want the wallpaper to be coupled to anything else.

Well maybe the image above doesn't look good for you, but for me it does look fine, it is similar to how I have Gboard right now.

About the green yeah I can agree, at least you can tweak the colors whether it is rom side or with an app as mentioned above.
