Hey everyone just like everyone here, I love using the Gucci boy. I was wondering though if there's away to cement a different custom color I haven't seen any apk file or any way to do it so far by doing searches. Not that I don't like using it because do I was just curious. Thank you.

Are you trying to change the color of the keyboard?
Yes sir I am. I know about the materialistic design elements of it don't get me wrong. But just like SwiftKey, I was wondering if there was any way at all to change the custom color scheme of it.

Only 4 themes available for the GK. Maybe there's some changes you can make if you're rooted and use a theming app, but stock, there is no way to change it.

I appreciate the quick feedback I was just wondering.

As I recall, there are options to go Material Light and Dark, but that may be about it. I think this still works: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-s/332833-guide-keyboards.html

Yeah...the downside to Google Keyboard. Simple with popular functions like gesture typing, but limited when it comes to customization. Swiftkey has a lot of custom options. I think they are separate plugins though.

Yeah no I realize that. The only promise SwiftKey 3 is affected the RAM hog for a system memory, and when you use it all the time I first generation Moto X, there's a lag on it and it would crash at the time. And force close which drove me nuts. The Google keyboard is fine.

Yeah, Swift Key is really the only Android keyboard with tons of themes that has swipe features and still works great. I use Fleksy, which has a good number of themes, but it has no swipe to text.
