Yep, same thing I got. Kept popping up a force close issue until I unchecked and deleted it. 
Oh well! Thanks for giving it a shot.

Do not post swype APK's. It is illegal to distribute swype outside of their means. If you want to theme swype, metamorph themes are completely acceptable by AC and Swype as it is not a distribution of their apk.
Thanks.

Not working for me. Swype disappeared all together from the list of keyboard selections. What do you think happened?
I'm sorry I forgot about system apps.. You need to reboot before they take effect.. Then choose Swype as input again
Do these steps in this order....Worked for me.....
Open metamorph
unzip/extract new theme
find greenswype Zip select it
let it do its thing unziping
close next screen (shows the developer)
apply all
Reboot
settings
lang. & keyboards
select input method
swype
There you go.....Enjoy....

I noticed that on the newest reborn Rom the swype.apk is located in data/app. I edited the pinkswype.xml to reflect that and installed using metamorph. After a reboot, swype is no longer an option under keyboard settings... I also didn't receive any errors when installing the pinkswype.zip that I altered...
PS. I was getting errors when trying to install it as provided because swype.apk is not in the system folder....
EDIT: Used file expert to look around in data/app folder. There is a swype.apk still now with a pink "logo" I am unable to install it from there or use it though. Lol.
EDIT 2: Figured it out! Here's what I did to get it working (using adb shell):
from the adb directory in command prompt:
adb pull /data/app/Swype.apk
adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# exit
adb push Swype.apk /system/app
then use metamorph to open whatever color ie pinkswype.zip, greenswype.zip, etc and apply all. reboot. select swype.

would these also work with the new swype beta as they're not ,apks but metamorphs?
They won't work on the new beta. They only work on the apk's. Not sure if you know but there is another thread with much more to choose from here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...-dialers-2-2-reborn-2-1-swype-metamorphs.html
Yea if you leave the Swype.apk in the data/app folder, you need to get it resigned. Easiest is to move it back to the system/app folder.
As for beta, it can be done, but involves swapping out the graphics via 7zip and resigning the com.swype.android.inputmethod1.apk. It's not easy. But can be done.
