The Black Keyboard

[Piggie]

I was just messing about and noticed that if you change to an advanced password entry to get access to your ipad, you get a rather nice looking Black Keyboard come up on screen to type your password in.

I don't suppose (without jail-braking) you can select to have this Black Keyboard all the time can you?

Wow, tried that myself. Yeah, pretty cool-looking.

 

[Bawstun]

Tried it, definitely like the black keyboard better. We should have an option for it. Oh, wait, it's Apple...

wow, that is pretty nice looking. Would be a cool "back lit" feature for low light typing. Keep the screen dim so you don't blind yourself, use the black keyboard but keep the letters/numbers/symbols at near full brightness.

Would really love it if someone posted a pic

I actually think it looks pretty bad.

Wow, that's nice. Wouldn't mind having that as a keyboard option.

haha kind of strange that it has the little home key lips on the F and J, as if you could feel them

The standard grey keys have them also.

You could enable the "toggle white on black" option for the "triple-click home" feature in the General/Accessibility configuration.
That way, when you triple-click the home button, all colours are reversed and the keyboard is black.
Not quite the same as the password entry keyboard, but close.

I actually think it looks pretty bad-ass.

Fixed

Someone should mess around with SSH to see if you can find the keyboard skins to upload

I would be happy if the keyboard matched my MacBook Pro. Something like this:

i agree - it would look pretty cool if we could have a keyboard like that

Had no idea this could be done. Kinda cool
